Hands-On Engineering · Tech Leadership · Applied AI · Platform Scale
Build it right.
Ship it fast.
Scale it further.
Engineering leadership and hands-on development for teams that need both the strategy and the execution.
I build teams that ship with clarity and hold up at scale.
Stone Arch Technology takes its name from Minneapolis's historic Stone Arch Bridge — built to last, and still standing. Same idea here.
I'm a senior engineering leader who still writes code. I set technical direction, work alongside your team, and actually build things. I've led platform modernizations, grown engineering orgs, and served as interim Head of Engineering — and I still write code.
With AI embedded into how I work, I move faster and cover more ground than a traditional consultant. Based in NYC, working with clients across the country.
Where I've worked
Insuretech Platform

Led cross-functional teams across the full SDLC. Appointed interim Head of Engineering during a critical leadership transition — maintained delivery momentum and upheld technical standards org-wide

What I do
Backend Development
Scalable APIs, microservices, and data pipelines. Node.js, Python, Java, TypeScript — built for correctness and operational simplicity at enterprise scale.
Frontend Development
Responsive, accessible web interfaces. React SPAs to server-rendered pages — built for performance, maintainability, and real users.
API & Integration
Third-party integrations, webhook systems, and enterprise CRM pipelines. Clean contracts, reliable delivery across complex bi-directional data flows.
AI Strategy & Enablement
LLM product integration and AI-augmented development. I use these tools daily — I know where they accelerate teams and where they create debt that compounds later.
Technical Consulting
Architecture reviews, technology selection, and team enablement. An independent perspective from someone credible in both the codebase and the room where decisions get made.
Engineering Leadership
Interim or embedded leadership. Org design, technical strategy, team health, and hiring — player-coach style, with genuine credibility across the codebase and the org chart.
