Engineering leader, systems thinker, founder.
I've spent twenty years building software systems and leading engineering teams across startups, scale-ups, and public-sector organizations. My work sits at the intersection of technical systems and human ones: how organizations make decisions, how authority functions inside teams, and how to design both so that people can actually do good work inside them.
I'm currently building Orillo, a developer tool for engineering organizations. I'm also developing Consentful Leadership, a framework for what it means to design the systems people work inside with consent, transparency, and agency as structural principles.
I'm relocating to Barcelona in 2026 to build within the European startup ecosystem.
A leadership framework grounded in a structural claim: every leader designs the system their people work inside, and most do it by default. Consentful Leadership is the practice of doing it deliberately, with consent as a structural principle. Developed through twenty years of engineering leadership.
Capacity-first task management for people with variable energy. Built on spoon theory: the core question is "what fits within my capacity today?" not "what should I do?" No guilt, no streaks, no punishment for saying not today.
I'm a queer, trans, disabled, and neurodivergent engineering leader. These aren't biographical footnotes. They directly shape how I think about systems, power, capacity, and what it means to design organizations people can actually be whole inside of.
My technical background spans Python, TypeScript, React, Ruby on Rails, and AWS. My leadership experience centers on building inclusive engineering teams, mentoring engineers and managers, and designing both technical and organizational systems. I've worked at Gusto, Regard, and across early- and late-stage startups and government.
I'm interested in how AI tools are changing engineering work, how organizations govern themselves, and how the invisible structures that shape what people can do inside institutions can be made visible and intentional.
I'm open to conversations about engineering leadership, AI governance in engineering organizations, and the kind of consulting work where these things overlap.
