Who I Am
I'm a hands-on cloud architect and tech product strategist with 20+ years of experience who loves turning ambitious ideas into working platforms.
My sweet spot is sitting between engineering, product, and go-to-market—keeping development teams moving, stakeholders informed, and the tech story clear for customers and investors. People rely on me when the stakes are high and timelines are tight because I'll deliver solutions they can depend on.
I founded two IT consultancies and grew teams to 12+ employees, led engineering teams of 40+ people, and architected cloud products serving 5M+ users.

What I'm Really Good At
Cloud & Distributed Systems
Built on AWS, Azure, and SAP BTP—from privacy-first livestreaming to finance engines processing millions of transactions.
AI & Machine Learning
Full cycle LLM development—curating training sets, fine-tuning models, stress-testing prompts, and production deployment.
Hardware-to-Cloud (IoT)
End-to-end orchestration from custom firmware and IoT devices to cloud infrastructure and compliance.
Crisis Recovery
Absurdly good in a crisis—quickly diagnose and recover projects that have crashed technically, getting them back on track fast.
Durable & Efficient Design
Architectures that are very long-lived while staying efficient—neither over- nor under-engineered.
Venture Building
Founded appweeve (13-person consultancy) and co-founded Centric Mind Ventures, incubating Future of Work and EdTech ideas.
When I'm a Great Fit
- • Cloud architecture - design and implementation on AWS, SAP BTP or Azure
- • Engineering team boost - guiding architecture choices and restoring development pace
- • AI/LLM initiatives - full lifecycle from data ingest to production telemetry
- • Hardware meets cloud—any project mixing devices, firmware, and cloud services
- • Engineering leadership transitions - stepping in to stabilize tech operations and strategy
- • Fractional or interim CTO—aligning architecture, org design, and delivery with business goals
- • CTO advisory—team structure, pragmatic processes, and executive/board communication
- • New product or venture kickoff - turning vision and constraints into believable architecture
