What I do

Former AWS leader. Founder. Builder. On both sides of the problem.

I'm a Fractional CTO who partners with e-commerce brands to turn AI and data into measurable revenue growth, faster than they thought possible.

I've been on both sides of this problem. I started as a software engineer, then built and ran my own e-commerce business — struggling with the exact same challenges I now help brands solve. That experience, combined with 12 years at Amazon Web Services working alongside some of the world's largest retailers, gave me a perspective you don't get from consulting alone: I know what great looks like, and I know what it actually takes to get there.

What clients tell me sets me apart is the ability to move fluidly between worlds. I can go deep on architecture with an engineering team in the morning and translate that into business outcomes for a CEO in the afternoon — no loss of fidelity in either direction.
