01 About

“A consultant,” the old joke goes, “borrows your watch to tell you the time — then keeps the watch.”

So I build instead. I turn strategy into products that ship at scale and reshape how the business runs.

With 14+ years across engineering, product, and consulting, I lead digital and AI transformation programs as a Director in PwC’s Cloud, Engineering, Data & Analytics practice. Today my focus is agentic AI: helping Fortune 500 companies build AI-native products and reinvent how software itself is designed, built, and delivered.

I started out as a hands-on software engineer, and it still shapes how I lead: close to the craft and focused on outcomes. My edge is execution — turning direction into delivery in complex, ambiguous situations where the path isn’t yet clear.

05 Beyond work

Sustainability and fighting food waste are causes close to me. When I’m not building products, I volunteer to rescue surplus food and get it to people who need it.

Food rescue sits right at the intersection of things I care about — reducing waste, supporting communities, and putting good logistics to work for good. Over the years I’ve volunteered with organizations across the country to help move surplus meals to the people and places they matter most.

Off the clock

I’m a lifelong soccer fan and co-host a soccer podcast, breaking down matches, storylines, and the culture around the game. I also tinker with self-driving-car and autonomous-systems projects — a long-running curiosity that keeps me building for the fun of it.

Let’s explore what’s possible.

Curious how cloud, AI, and product engineering can accelerate your organization? I’d welcome the conversation.
