Actionable science-based strategies to build exactly the life you want | Professionally Curious | Author | Keynote Speaker | 166K on TikTok

I am a builder. 

I build beautiful software.
I build cultures that propel organizations forward. 
I build software teams who achieve more together than they ever could separately. 

If your engineering department were a rock band, I'd be the producer who turns talented individuals into chart-topping legends. I've got the technical chops to lay down killer tracks, the vision to create anthems that resonate, and the leadership skills to keep the band together when egos and deadlines clash. Ready to make some noise?
