I help founders and engineering leaders design, build, and scale AI-first, cloud-native platforms from early product stages to enterprise scale. With 10+ years of experience as a Director of Engineering and founding engineer at RiseSmart, I’ve led end-to-end product development across architecture, AI​/​ML, automation, and multi-cloud platforms (AWS & GCP). I’ve built and scaled global engineering organizations from 1 to 100+ engineers, owned complex distributed systems, and delivered award-winning enterprise products used at global scale. My advisory approach is hands-on and outcome-driven—focusing on pragmatic architecture, execution excellence, and translating business vision into secure, scalable, real-world solutions.
