That Moves Teams Forward
Senior Engineering Leadership That Moves Teams Forward
I work at the intersection of technology, leadership, and impact.
I work at the intersection of technology, leadership, and impact.
I partner with startups, growing companies, and enterprise organizations that need experienced engineering leadership. This might mean scaling quickly, navigating change, or shoring up your technical foundation. I step in through part-time (fractional), interim, or project-based roles to provide clear direction and deep experience that helps teams move faster and more confidently.

Impact Snapshots from the Field
Zero-error scale launch:
Delivered a proxy service that processed over 230 million transactions in six weeks, with zero reported errors — built in under 8 months against a strict deadline.
Security leadership with or without a CISO:
Drove organization-wide security efforts, including DevSecOps initiatives, policy leadership, and risk mitigation — collaborating with CISOs or stepping in as the primary security lead when needed.Cross-industry delivery:
Led efforts in regulated industries like healthcare and energy, navigating complex compliance and stakeholder needs.Executive transition stabilizer:
Stepped in to lead a 40-person technology org, restoring team momentum and delivery continuity during a leadership gap.Engineering for the long-haul:
Co-led development of core systems (IRS's EIN site) still in active use over 15 years later, known at the time for their reliability, clarity, and developer-friendliness.Startup cofounder and engineering lead:
Co-founded a fitness app that scaled to 3M users, was featured in national media, and recognized for innovation and impact.
I architected and coded core backend systems, led mobile development, managed global teams, built a strong support and testing culture that improved app store ratings from 2 to 4.5 stars, and grew a devoted community.

Case Studies
Case Study: Movement Infrastructure Group
From disjointed volunteers to enterprise-level machine: building out an engineering team that scaled and delivered.
Client: Movement Infrastructure Group (MIG)
Role: Senior Director of Engineering
With no engineering leader in place and ambitious external commitments looming, MIG needed immediate engineering leadership to build capacity, align teams, and turn high-level plans into working systems.
I took ownership of the engineering department immediately, scaling from 5 to 15 with processes that enabled our team to work to our full potential. In my tenure there, my team launched multiple enterprise-grade systems in months, processing over 230 million transactions with 0 downtime.

Ways We Can Work Together
I tailor each engagement based on the organization's needs.
However, most of my clients work with me in one of the following models:
Fractional leadership (1-3 days/week):
Ideal for scaling teams or covering an open senior engineering leadership role (Director, VPE, or CTO). What does “fractional” mean?Contract leadership (full-time, short-term):
Great for critical delivery periods or interim leadership.Advisory support (project-based):
Targeted guidance for strategic planning, team health, or technical decisions.
Let’s talk about what kind of support would be most useful to you.
