Executive Vice President of Engineering
Seattle, Washington, United States
I’m an engineering executive who builds organizations and technology platforms that help SaaS businesses scale—from product growth and monetization to global infrastructure, data, security, and enterprise readiness.
As EVP of Engineering at Seesaw, I lead engineering across product, platform, data, infrastructure, security, IT, and GTM systems. My focus is connecting technology strategy to business outcomes: helping teams move faster, improving reliability and unit economics, enabling international expansion, and creating the foundations for durable product growth.
Recent outcomes include:
• Sustaining 99.999% availability during peak usage
• Improving P99 application latency by more than 60%
• Accelerating build and deployment workflows by approximately 60%
• Reducing major infrastructure and tooling costs by 28–45%
• Expanding Seesaw’s architecture across the US, UK, Australia, and Canada
• Achieving SOC 2 Type II compliance with zero exceptions
• Building product-led growth, monetization, data, and enterprise capabilities
• Leading organizations through acquisitions, leadership transitions, and structural change
I’m most effective where the problems are ambiguous and interconnected - where product strategy, platform architecture, organizational design, and execution all need to evolve together.
My leadership approach combines clear strategy, strong operating mechanisms, technical judgment, and investment in engineering leaders. I care about building teams that understand the customer and business context behind their work, make sound decisions independently, and consistently turn complex goals into measurable outcomes.
