Professional aspirations
I'm a tech generalist and problem-solver who's built products, led teams, started companies, and untangled tech messes for 20+ years. While I've been a CTO and a manager, I prefer high-impact IC roles where I can blend strategy, tech, and stakeholder wrangling.
I learn fast, thrive in pragmatic environments, and have a reputation for making things work (without unnecessary meetings).

More about me
I have spent the past 20 years in various technology and product roles. I have started several companies. I have been a CTO. I have been an individual contributor and a manager. I have been a consultant working with companies in a wide range of industries. I have worked in product companies and agencies. If I am to go by the feedback I get; I am a trusted leader with strong technical, people and strategic skills.
I love learning and improving. I have come to acknowledge this as one of my core qualities. I am able to quickly get up to speed and be productive in a new environment.
Personally, I am a devoted trail- and ultra runner, downhill skier, mountainbiker, and self-improvement nerd.
