About Me
I'm a vision-driven architect who creates clarity, structures complexity, and empowers high-agency teams to operate at their highest level.
I don't lead with abstract inspiration—I lead with systems. Where others make high-level statements, I create frameworks, architectures, and structured processes that ground big ideas in reality. With 20+ years building mission-critical systems—from the world's first petaflop supercomputer to modern agentic AI platforms—I bring the architectural rigor and human-centered leadership that turns ambitious visions into delivered results. I've scaled teams from 3-30+, operations from $60M to over $1B, and built platforms serving Fortune 500 customers.
I translate ambiguity into structured action—frameworks, architectures, and roadmaps that empower teams.
AI success requires deep architecture knowledge—from infrastructure and performance to reliability at scale.
I architect roles that enable high-agency teams to scale—built on clarity, autonomy, and accountability.
I see the whole stack—from philosophy to infrastructure. 20+ years building mission-critical systems.
