About Me

My career in technology has been driven by a fascination with its potential to empower people, a principle I first encountered during my time at Apple. This led me to co-found TwoThirtySix, where as CTO I led a team in tackling challenges in emerging fields like blockchain and Web3. A notable project from that time was the development of the first NFT marketplace on Shopify.

Our work at TwoThirtySix culminated in an acquisition by Wursta. In my current role as a Senior Solutions Architect, I focus on helping businesses implement effective AI and cloud strategies, translating complex technical possibilities into tangible business value.

Based in Austin, I spend my time outside of work hiking with my wife and dogs, rock climbing, and exploring the local food scene.

Speaking Engagements

I enjoy sharing insights and connecting with others in the tech community at events focused on AI, cloud infrastructure, and software development.
