EXECUTIVE PROFILE

Technology executive and hands-on architect with nearly three decades of experience building, scaling, and stabilizing complex software systems across artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure, and real-time communications. My career spans from the early commercial web to modern production-grade AI platforms, with a consistent focus on translating emerging technologies into reliable systems that deliver measurable business outcomes.

I bring a rare combination of deep technical execution and executive-level judgment. I have architected ultra-low-latency WebRTC systems at global scale, contributed directly to IETF and W3C standards, and designed proprietary LLM optimization and retrieval architectures that significantly improve accuracy, performance, and cost efficiency in production environments.

As of November 2025, I am operating in a remote-first capacity while pursuing senior leadership roles where experience, judgment, and hands-on capability are critical. I am open to CTO, VP Engineering, or Chief Architect roles in organizations building serious AI, cloud, or real-time systems for global markets.
