Description

I'm an engineering leader and technology consultant with 20+ years building and managing teams that ship content platforms, APIs, and audio/video products at scale. As an Engineering Manager at Dow Jones, I led teams delivering features for WSJ, Barron's, and MarketWatch, and earlier built a framework at Time Inc. serving 50M+ monthly users across 40+ sites. Through my consulting practice, I've partnered with media leaders (NBC, CNN, NASCAR, NCAA, Time Inc.) and AI companies (Apple, Meta, xAI, and others) on engineering leadership, architecture, and AI evaluation work.

I help clients in two ways: leading or advising engineering teams (hiring, delivery, architecture, process) and designing and reviewing AI evaluation and annotation workflows. My hands-on stack includes JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, REST, and GraphQL, backed by CI/CD and AWS architectural experience. Whether you need a leader to steady a growing team or an expert to raise the quality bar on AI training data, I bring practical, senior-level judgment to the table.
