Build like the company you're becoming.
When a software company grows, how it builds starts to crack — releases slow down, infrastructure fights back, the wrong roles get hired, and no two teams work the same way. I help you fix that end to end, so engineering becomes a reason you win instead of the thing holding you back.
When growth outpaces engineering
You can feel it before you can name it.
Shipping takes longer than it should. Deploys are tense. Infrastructure that used to be invisible now needs babysitting. You're hiring, but not always the right people, and onboarding them is its own project. Every team has its own way of working, which means no team has a way of working.
Individually, none of these is a crisis. Together, they quietly tax everything you do — and they compound. The longer the strain runs, the more it costs to unwind.
I find what's slowing you down, then help you fix it.
I work with software companies that have found their market and are now feeling the strain of scaling how they build. Across delivery, DevOps, infrastructure, release quality, hiring, and engineering methodology, I help you see clearly what's wrong, decide what to fix first, and actually make it better — not just on a slide.
The name is the promise: a single throughline from the strategy at the top to the software shipping at the bottom. No hand-off where the thinking stops and the doing begins.
Three ways to work together.
Assessment
A fixed-scope diagnostic of your engineering organization. You walk away with clear findings and a prioritized roadmap you own — whether or not we keep working together. The lowest-risk place to start.
Learn moreFractional leadership
Senior engineering leadership, embedded and hands-on, when a full-time hire is premature or too slow. I drive the changes, not just recommend them.
Learn moreAdvisory
A senior sounding board for leaders who have the team and the direction but want experienced judgment and periodic course correction.
Learn more25 years of doing exactly this.
I've spent 25+ years as a Chief Architect and platform engineering leader inside growing SaaS companies — BetterCloud (to $50M+ ARR), Katalon, FinQuery, and CINC Systems. The work I'm offering is the work I've actually done: modernizing platforms onto Kubernetes and GitOps with zero downtime, turning fragile release processes into safe daytime deploys, rebuilding authentication for enterprise scale, cutting cloud spend, and shaping how engineering teams operate. I've supported technical diligence on funding rounds totaling more than $100M.
I do this hands-on — in the architecture and in the codebase, alongside your team — not from arm's length. And the Assessment is the easy way to start: a bounded, low-risk look at how I think and what I'd change, before you commit to anything bigger.
Clarity first. Then momentum.
I start by understanding how you actually build today — not the org chart, the reality. From there it's a straight line: name the real problems, rank them by what they cost you, and work the list. You always know what I'm doing, why, and what it's worth.
Let's find your throughline.
A 30-minute call, no pitch. Tell me where it hurts and I'll tell you straight whether I can help.
