Six times hired to fix what wasn’t working. Every time, delivered.
Across healthcare, education, financial services, and cybersecurity — from 8- person startups to a 120-engineer Capital One domain — I’ve built a repeatable pattern: take an engineering organization that is stuck and make it perform. The work is industry-agnostic. The results are not.
The hardest version of this work is when you can’t stop. The system is broken, the business is depending on it, and you have to scale it anyway while building the replacement in parallel. At N-able, we took a platform never designed for enterprise load and scaled it 14x — while simultaneously refactoring to an API-first architecture and building the next-generation platform that replaces it entirely. The plane kept flying. The engine got rebuilt. That’s the job.
What the transformations have produced:
- 14x scale on legacy infrastructure not built for it
- 90% cost reduction + 50% developer productivity gain (Capital One, 120 engineers)
- 93% reduction in platform operating costs (SaaS, Meteor Learning)
- 100x scale at 33% lower operating spend (Series A, Sidekicks)
- 10x transaction speed + 20x scale (fintech, Boston Technologies) — named CIO of the Year during this engagement
The mechanics are consistent regardless of industry: diagnose what is actually broken, architect a credible path forward, build or rebuild the team that can execute it, and drive to delivery. I have run this with teams of 8 and organizations of 120, on-prem and in the cloud, with fully co-located teams and with complex distributed engineering across the US and Bangalore.
If your platform is behind where your business needs it to be — or you have acquired a company and the engineering organization needs to step up fast — this is the work I do.
Boston Business Journal and Mass High Tech named me the CIO of the Year in the Corporate category.
