CTO with 14+ years building platforms and leading operations. Started as a sysadmin, grew into leadership by shipping systems that actually worked. ERP migrations with zero downtime. Warehouse automation that tripled productivity. Cloud infrastructure that significantly cut overhead.

Built integrations for everything from legacy AS/400 systems to modern microservices. Implemented AI automation and tooling. Contributed upstream to open source projects. Led cross-functional teams through the messy reality of keeping a business running while modernizing everything underneath it.

Looking for CTO/VP/Director roles at companies building real things: ecommerce, logistics, distribution, manufacturing, SaaS. I excel at digital transformation and aligning technology with business strategy. Comfortable being hands-on when needed, strategic when required. I've built teams, driven revenue growth, and owned business outcomes - not just shipped code.

If you need someone who understands both the tech stack and the business stack, let's talk.
