My experience
I'm an engineering leader with twenty years of building software and ten of leading teams. I take enterprise products from a blank page to production, most recently agents that investigate production problems the way experts do.
What I've done
- Startups. Joined an early-stage company as technical lead and launched its first product from a blank page.
- Distributed systems at scale. Led the teams behind a managed ingestion platform serving 5,500+ customers and more than 125 TB per day.
- Production AI agents. Leading the team building investigation agents that seven enterprises asked to design-partner on.
- Growing senior engineers. Five promotions on my teams, including two to Senior Staff.
How I lead now
Every engineer on my team works with agents by default, and my job has shifted from reviewing code to reviewing how the work is checked. Placeholder for a third sentence on what that changes for the team. How I work.
Selected work
- Agentic On-Call
Senior Engineering Manager, 2025 to now
On-call engineers waited on the one expert who had seen the problem before. Seven enterprises asked to become design partners after the .conf26 demo.
- Managed Data Ingestion Platform
Senior Engineering Manager, 2021 to 2025
The largest customers couldn't bring in cloud data at scale without heavy manual work. Grew to 5,500+ customers and more than 125 TB per day.
- Embedded Analytics for OEM Partners
Director of Engineering, 2017 to 2021
Partners wanted workforce analytics inside their own products, not beside them. Grew from 1,600 to more than 6,000 customers through nine partners.
