Professional Background

Driving solutions to real-world problems through direct engagement with sophisticated customers. Building tech that outlast my involvement. Advancing adoption of technologies that genuinely improve how people live and work. Too technical for pure sales; too extroverted for pure engineering.

As a Senior Technical Architect with GitLab Professional Services, I engage with high-profile enterprise customers to facilitate the transformation toward the higher levels of productivity and quality provided by agentic engineering.

Meanwhile, I maintain commitment to the software engineering fundamentals that help organizations to achieve peak performance - generative culture, thorough testing, end-to-end automation, and robust application security.

Previously roles included Senior Solution Architect (presales), Product Marketing Manager (competitive intelligence), and Senior Professional Services Engineer. I first joined the GitLab team at the beginning of 2019.

Before GitLab, I ran an independent professional services firm after serving for years as senior engineering manager and product manager for various tech startups. My career has touched the worlds of content delivery (CDN), marketing software, wealth management, commercial media, social media, language translation, financial services, and transportation.
