Co-founder
Stealth Startup
Redefining a category of tools for audio professionals. The product isn't public yet; the stack is Go and Avalonia, shipping cross-platform desktop.
Engineering leader & hands-on developer
I build products and the teams that ship them.
Twenty years shipping consumer sports, media, and audio products. Currently co-founding a startup and leading an AI health product.
What I do
For fifteen years I've built products for how people play: fantasy sports, live sports streaming for worldwide networks, radar-based athlete measurement, automated sports content, and tools for audio professionals. I've shipped them as a co-founder, a director, a VP, and a senior engineer. The seat matters less than the shipping.
I lead teams when a team is what's needed, and write the code myself when that's faster. Recent work spans Go, Kotlin, React Native, and LLM-based products, from cross-platform desktop to mobile to cloud microservices.

Off the clock
Away from the keyboard I'm usually outside and moving slowly toward something far away: backpacking trips, marathons, century rides, and the occasional triathlon.
Endurance sports and shipping software reward the same habit. Show up, keep going, finish.
