Work / Bio

With extensive experience in technology leadership, I have navigated roles ranging from startup founder to CTO and VP of Engineering, while also leading technology strategies in larger corporate settings.

My expertise lies in designing, architecting, and engineering complex software systems, spanning technology, teams, and processes. I have worked on a variety of applications including web, social, mobile, hardware, and SaaS platforms.

In my most recent role at Included Health, I focused on enhancing engineering excellence, improving engineering efficiency, and refining software architecture practices. My goal was to optimize our engineering workflows and enable our mission to deliver top-notch healthcare outcomes for our members.

At Uber, I led the technical aspects of the bikes and scooters division, managing the JUMP acquisition integration, and scaling the infrastructure to accommodate rapid growth—reaching 45k vehicles, 2M+ monthly trips, and over $150M in annualized revenue—all while collaborating closely with a team of over 50 engineers.

I currently manage a small team of software engineers at my company, providing leading aviation maintenance management services for General Aviation through SavvyAviation. I also consult with a small number of select clients.

I hold a Master of Information Networking from Carnegie Mellon University and a Bachelor of Information Systems Engineering from Imperial College, London.

I am also an inventor with seven U.S. patents to my name and several pending patent applications.

I no longer infrequently post to Twitter, but I dabbled with Mastodon and it was a bit crickets. Follow me there, and maybe I'll start that up again.
