CTO & Chief Product Officer
I scale technology and product into durable revenue and enterprise value.
I partner with executive teams to launch differentiated products customers love, modernize platforms without disrupting operations, secure competitive advantage through strategic IP, and build organizations that support diligence, integration, and exit readiness.
I build products that generate revenue, not just ship features. From concept to scale, I've taken platforms from zero to market leadership.
$0 → $50M+ ARR across multiple venturesI don't just compete. I redefine categories. The FocalPoint platform transformed electronic monitoring from "dots on a map" to intelligent supervision.
~33% market share capturedI don't just use technology. I create and protect it. I lead patent portfolio strategy for organizations, building defensible differentiation that strengthens diligence and deters competition.
22 issued patents across 13 invention familiesI architect systems that can't fail. In public safety, downtime isn't an option. I deliver enterprise-grade reliability in regulated environments.
99.999% uptime achievedI lead acquisitions, integrations, and divestitures while maintaining delivery velocity. Technology becomes an asset in diligence, not a liability.
4 successful M&A transactionsI scale organizations from founding teams to enterprise engineering. Culture, process, and accountability grow together.
200+ engineers led globallyI write about the intersection of technology strategy, product leadership, and business value creation. My perspective comes from building, scaling, and exiting technology businesses.

Co-found and scale electronic monitoring company from concept to market leadership in a competitive, regulated industry.
Built company from ground up to $17M recurring revenue and successful acquisition. Created FocalPoint platform, the industry's first exception-based monitoring system, capturing 33% market share. Architected 5 generations of electronic monitoring devices. Established IP portfolio with 12 patents. Raised Series A funding and led company through profitable growth to exit.
These principles guide my approach to technology leadership. They've been refined through successes, failures, and everything in between.
I measure success by revenue generated, users served, and problems solved, not by features shipped or hours worked.
Clean architecture, clear data flows, and documented decisions. Technology should reduce risk for stakeholders, not introduce it.
Crises don't require chaos. I bring clarity and focus when systems fail, deadlines compress, or stakes escalate.
I build teams where ownership is earned through trust, not demanded through hierarchy. High standards and high support go together.
Perfect is the enemy of shipped. I favor rapid iteration with real users over extended development in isolation.
Mission-critical systems demand reliability. Innovation happens in controlled spaces where failure teaches, not destroys.
Technology decisions are business decisions. I translate complex tradeoffs into clear strategic implications.
I build defensible differentiation through practical innovation: inventions that reduce operational friction, improve reliability, and enable new business models. These aren't theoretical patents. They're deployed in products generating real revenue.
