I’ve spent my career turning emerging technology into dependable systems, and small, determined groups into organizations that can carry them forward.
I started as a hands-on founding engineer, building healthcare and financial products from a blank repository: HIPAA-compliant marketplaces, real-time card authorization, and rules engines that became patented technology. That early work shaped how I still operate: stay close to the system (and the business), understand the constraints, and make the complicated thing clear enough to build.
As the scale changed, so did the work. At Maven Clinic and 1Password, I built and led platform, security, data, infrastructure, and developer-experience organizations ranging from a dozen people to more than 180. We modernized critical infrastructure without downtime, supported software serving more than a billion requests a day, and built operating systems for engineering that made reliability, speed, and good judgment repeatable.
Now my focus is the AI-native company: not AI as a feature bolted onto yesterday’s process, but as a new material for products and for the way teams work. At Inspiren, that means leading engineering across AI/ML, data, software, platform, and quality; deploying intelligence across tens of thousands of edge devices; and building agentic systems that ship production code and reduce the burden on caregivers.
I’m interested in the point where a promising model becomes a trusted product. That requires more than model performance. It takes strong architecture, security instincts, fast feedback loops, thoughtful teams, and the willingness to redesign the surrounding system. My work connects those pieces.
