Experience

15 Years of Building What Matters

$B+

Payment Volume

Built and maintained systems that process billions of dollars annually in financial transactions.

300+

Students Taught

Mentored over 300 aspiring developers, helping many land their first jobs in tech.

15+

Years in Industry

From two-person startups to large enterprises, through acquisitions and IPOs.

Much of my career has been rooted in fintech and financial services, where reliability isn't optional. I've written code that powers payments for brands like Twitch, CBS, and Sling TV — including systems built specifically to handle Super Bowl-scale traffic.

I've been through the full lifecycle: early-stage startups finding product-market fit, growth-stage companies scaling under pressure, acquisitions, and IPOs. I've seen what works and what doesn't — and those lessons shape how I approach every engagement today.
