25 years building at the intersection of engineering, AI, and human potential. Speed at scale — from $320 seed capital to $2B unicorns.

I'm a technology executive with a bias toward operational reality over ceremonial leadership. My career has taken me from founding a web company with $320 in seed capital to leading engineering organizations at the most complex platforms on earth.
At Amazon I rebuilt the Prime Video recommendation engine — now powering 70%+ of streams across 180+ countries — and scaled Textbook Rentals from $35M to $600M+ ARR. At Microsoft I was a founding member of Office 365. At Meta I owned Responsible AI and Data Regulation for over 3 billion users. At Visible I drove a 10x engineering productivity improvement and cut cost-to-serve by 70%.
Most recently, as CTO of Property Finder in Dubai, I modernized the platform and restructured engineering and product organizations — delivering a 5x valuation increase to $2B in under two years.
Careers are lattices, not ladders. The run-work that keeps platforms stable at 3am matters more than the launch announcement. The best teams are built by misfits who don't fit the org chart.
