He blends a startup mindset with enterprise discipline, having founded and led platform efforts (SavaJe) and driven mobile/device management architecture at VMware and BenchSci. As an independent consultant he now advises on UX, product design, technical architecture, and engineering leadership while also acting as CTO, product owner, mentor, and hands-on engineer when needed.

Based in Toronto with an electrical engineering background, he brings rare breadth from embedded systems to cloud services and an appetite for tackling messy, cross-domain problems.
