Now
Senior Software Engineer · Growth & Technical Strategy
Sukow Ventures
Hands-on engineering across AI, infrastructure and product systems, alongside growth, technical strategy and increasingly external-facing execution.
TRAJECTORY
The scope changed.
The operating pattern did not.
Design became growth. Growth became engineering. Engineering became architecture and leadership. Each step added another part of the system rather than replacing the last one.
THE CONTINUITY
I have spent my career moving toward broader responsibility while staying close to execution. The through-line is not a job title — it is building clarity and momentum when technology, product and business constraints collide.
2021 — 2023
CTO-level leadership · Mobility technology
Startup environment
Led an AI-powered mobility platform across architecture, real-time systems, product execution, technical operations and scale.
2018 — 2023
CTO-level leadership · Financial technology
Startup environment
Built automated decisioning, scalable lending infrastructure and the engineering organization around a fast-changing financial product.
2012 — 2018
Engineering, growth systems & product
Terapeak · eBay · IHS
Moved across design, growth, product engineering and data systems as the work became larger, more technical and more directly tied to business outcomes.
2007 — 2012
Web engineering & design
Early career
Started by designing and building digital experiences, then kept moving deeper into the systems, data and business mechanics behind them.
CURRENT OPERATING RANGE
Hands-on software engineering across AI, infrastructure and product systems, with growth and technical strategy layered into the work. I am deliberately interested in the places where those disciplines stop behaving like separate functions.
