Strategic Engineering for
Complex Systems
You need a CTO who ships FAST. I bring 29 years of experience cleaning up technical debt and staring down scale.
Practicality over Theory.
I don't do endless discovery phases. I audit, I align, and I execute. It's about building systems that survive the real world.
Why Choose Airwave?
Experience that cuts through the noise. Partner with a CTO who knows that technology exists to solve business problems, not create new ones.

The Architect Behind
Your Next Leap
I’ve been shipping code since 1997. From the dot-com era to the AI revolution, the fundamentals haven't changed: clear architecture wins.
As the former VP of Engineering at Vungle ($750M exit) and Co-Founder & CTO of GawkBox (backed by Madrona), I learned that technology exists to solve business problems, not create new ones.
I don't sell theory. I fix broken stacks, stabilize teams, and scale platforms for your next big exit.
