I’m a CTO and full-stack engineer with a strong foundation in mathematics, statistics, and computer science. I thrive on transforming ambiguous, high-stakes problems into clear, reliable, and high-performance software systems.
At Blueblade, I architected a no-code regulatory compliance platform from the ground up. We ingest complex legal documents and convert them into structured, executable workflows that power end-to-end licensing, permitting, and inspection operations. This work integrates full-stack engineering, advanced data structures, and MLOps for AI-assisted document understanding.
Outside of work, I’m a devout trail runner, committed river-runner, aggressive mountain biker, masochistic ski mountaineer, and novice surfer. I bring the same endurance mindset to engineering as I do to the mountains: thoughtful pacing, rigorous risk management, and a relentless drive to finish strong.
EXPERIENCE
Last updated: March 2026CTO / Lead Architect / Full-Stack Engineer — Blueblade
As CTO of a regulatory compliance AI startup, I wear multiple hats simultaneously—leading technical strategy while personally architecting and implementing the core platform.
- AI & MLOps: Designed and deployed a high-performance RAG pipeline using Vertex AI and Django to translate 100+ page legal documents into validated SQL schemas, enabling instant deployment of complex permitting suites.
- Workflow Orchestration: Engineered data ingestion and transformation pipelines using Google Cloud Composer (Airflow), reducing manual document processing time by 95%.
- Platform Architecture: Built a comprehensive no-code software suite from scratch, enabling non-technical users to model and execute complete regulatory workflows.
- Algorithmic Design: Implemented recursive tree algorithms and complex data structures to represent hierarchical regulations and dependency graphs efficiently.
- Operational Excellence: Own the full development lifecycle in a GCP environment, from DevOps and infrastructure to front-end performance and code quality.
Lead / Senior / Associate Software Development Consultant — NavLabs
Rapidly promoted through three engineering tiers while architecting and delivering critical systems for Fortune 500 clients in life sciences, info-sec, and regulated industries.
- Technical Leadership: Directed cross-functional teams to design and deploy complex business orchestration engines, focusing on scalable Python-based microservices and robust SQL data architectures.
- Full-Stack Ownership: Owned the end-to-end delivery of high-stakes compliance and risk-management applications, ensuring 99.9% uptime and strict adherence to industry security standards.
- Technical Impact: Optimized legacy data models and recursive process flows, resulting in a 40% reduction in system latency for core business workflows.
- Strategic Collaboration: Partnered with C-suite stakeholders to translate ambiguous regulatory requirements into executable technical roadmaps and production-ready code.
Roles held at NavLabs:
- Lead Software Development Consultant — Feb 2023 – Jan 2025
- Senior Software Development Consultant — Mar 2022 – Feb 2023
- Associate Software Development Consultant — Nov 2021 – Mar 2022
Statistical Consultant — William E. Wecker Associates, Inc.
Worked on quantitative analyses and statistical modeling for real-world problems, bridging mathematical rigor with practical constraints.
- Built and interpreted statistical models to answer client questions and support decision-making.
- Communicated complex results in clear language for non-technical stakeholders.
Professional Trail Runner
Competed as a professional trail runner, developing endurance, resilience, and discipline that now inform how I approach complex engineering work.
- Planned and executed multi-year training and racing schedules.
- Balanced physical performance, self-directed work, and long-term goals.
Data Analyst & Software Engineer — UNC School of Medicine
Worked at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine as a data analyst and software engineer supporting research initiatives.
- Developed scripts and tools to clean, manage, and analyze research data.
- Collaborated with clinicians and researchers to design analyses and interpret results.
