I turn complex technology into clear business value.
25+ years as a builder — full-stack engineering, six startups as CTO / COO / CEO, and a deep run through crypto/Web3 and AI. I sit between the engineering and the customer: technical discovery, solution design, integrations, and the partnerships that close deals. Currently building Hômeggô.
The through-line of my career is simple: I gravitate toward emerging technology early, go deep, and translate it into something a business and its customers actually understand.
I started as a full-stack software engineer in the mid-90s — Sprint, AMP in Sydney, then a decade running my own dev shop. From there I co-founded a string of startups as the technical lead: KULA Causes, Hoopla.io / Local Ruckus, 1 Minute Candidate, and STARTLAND, plus the grassroots Kansas City Startup Village. I've raised capital, built and led dev teams, shipped integrations, and owned the messy space between product and customer.
Since 2017 I've lived in crypto — research, trading, and running validator and node infrastructure across a dozen networks. Today I'm building Hômeggô, an AI-assisted SaaS product, which keeps me hands-on with modern tooling every day.
I'm looking for a Solutions / Sales Engineering or Forward-Deployed role where broad technical range, customer empathy, and a founder's ownership move things forward.
An AI-built SaaS platform that turns the home search into a shared, automated workflow: buyers and their agents collaborate on a Kanban-style board where every home has a clear status and new matches arrive automatically. “Your home search, on autopilot.” I own the whole stack — product, UX, AI-assisted development, and go-to-market.
Digital-asset advisory and technical operations. Advise clients on crypto strategy, security, and execution; deploy and run 50+ Helium IoT/5G hotspots and validator/mining nodes across 8+ networks.
Entrepreneurial-ecosystem org (media, events, education). Built foundational operations as inaugural Executive Director; secured strategic partnerships and raised over $1M as Director of Development.
Event-discovery and content-syndication platform. Led internal and external dev teams as technical lead and shipped a nationwide integration distributing event data through Sprint's mobile app.
Consumer/brand philanthropic-giving platform — “the currency of giving.” Integrated hundreds of nonprofit agencies worldwide, making KULA “The World's Largest Directory of Charities and Causes”; co-led Seed and Series A raises.
