About
Technology executive with 10+ years leading platform architecture, AI/LLM integration, and cross-functional operations across staffing, construction, and manufacturing.
Built a production talent platform from the ground up (Python/FastAPI, PostgreSQL, React Native/Expo, Railway) and shipped LLM-powered automation that cut HR labor by 97% and supported 87% year-over-year revenue growth.
Hands-on leader who pairs engineering depth with ownership of budgets, compliance, data governance, and team development.
What I'm looking for
Full-time leadership roles as a CTO, Senior Technical Program Manager, or Technical Program Manager, where I own technical projects from idea through deployment. I'm drawn to small and mid-size companies that need someone to connect business goals with the right technology: building internal platforms, integrating AI, running IT infrastructure, and managing vendors and compliance. Open to remote or hybrid roles in the LA area, plus select contract or fractional CTO work.
