👋 Hi, I'm that rare technical co-conspirator:

I build things for fun (and can show you how)

I've scaled product and engineering teams, and I still build prototypes by hand. I’m not optimizing for big exits, and I’m not here for hustle culture. I just want to have fun building something people love.

Have an idea and want to learn to vibe code? I promise, it isn't rocket science.

I live in NJ, balancing building side ventures, coaxing my kids to try new recipes, and pruning powdery mildew out of my garden - almost always listening to a podcast .

Curiosities & Side Conversations

Let's talk about:

Creative problem-solving for big-hearted ventures.

I've spent 15+ years leading teams, but what energizes me is the build.

I'm drawn to products that solve real problems, not problems invented to justify an exit. I like teams that have fun while building something mission-driven.

If you have the spark of an idea, let's talk it through! I love validating ideas, vibe-coding prototypes, and figuring out what to build next. I'm at my best bringing clarity to ambiguity.
