I help developers build successful products, teams, and businesses.
Platform Experience · Advisor · Investor · San Diego, CA
I've spent 30 years building developer platforms and the ecosystems around them. I usually show up right as a product opens up to developers, build the marketplaces, partnerships, and go-to-market that turn it into a platform, and move on once that motion is running on its own.
I started as an engineer and a founder. I co-founded PC Mortgage, one of the first digital mortgage companies, and later Blackwire, which let credit unions and community banks build modern products on top of their legacy banking cores.
After a decade leading product and engineering teams as a director and VP, I went back to hands-on work in 2025.
Distinguished Product Manager at ServiceNow, in the Platform Experience group. I'm bringing AI agents into more of the platform and building the shared foundations other ServiceNow AI products reuse, including orchestration, memory, and secure action execution.
I also advise and angel invest in seed-stage developer-platform and AI founders.
