I was the CTO of Source Digital (a $100m AI video platform), the Technology Director at Temple University CPHLR (Center for Public Health Law Research), and the head of R&D at Loyalty Methods (One of the largest loyalty platforms on Earth). I've worked directly with Google, the United Nations, Deepmind, Amazon, Walmart, Comcast and other large names. I've managed 300+ engineers, designed architecture that's sold for more than $100m and licensed for more than $5.7m, and personally built 5 platforms from scratch that sold for over $50m. I've been writing code full time for over 30 years.
I'm super easy to work with, punctual, no-nonsense, respectful, brutally honest and I've probably done what you're looking to achieve several times over (and if not I'll tell you immediately).
I help startups and enterprises build production software that scales. With 20+ years of engineering experience, I deliver end-to-end solutions across AI, mobile, backend, cloud, and automation, from architecture and implementation to deployment and long-term support.
I also build analytics, marketing automation, and data platforms, helping businesses measure user behavior, optimize conversions, and automate operations using modern analytics and AI tooling.
