At dbt I assist engineering teams collaborate more effectively on current and future technical architecture.

I designed and implemented large parts of TDS, Twilio's next-generation internal OLTP data platform.

My work involved partnering with internal customers to better understand their data handling needs, designing and building client libraries, server middleware, database management frameworks and data migration automation.

Our users were able to both simplify their codebases (moving away from per product data access code to shared infrastructure) and we increased the overall reliability of data storage across the organization.

Travelled extensively -- the highlight being a month in Central Asia.

Moved back from New York to San Francisco and re-established myself in the Bay Area.

As CTO at Octane Lending, a financial startup in the powersports lending space, I enabled the technology team to deliver critical financial products and features including a prime loan offerings, a leasing and tax product, a fraud engine, and a loan servicing platform. I also helped the company to better understand the agile development process and tightened collaboration between business stakeholders and technology teams.

At Spring I ran the engineering organization.

I grew the org from 20 to more than 50, restructuring it from a single team into multiple functional teams with independent management. The teams rebuilt the order management platform and internal API layers and delivered multiple new business initiatives including cash back and syndication.
