Summary
I build production agentic platforms, the serverless economics underneath them, and the organizations that ship them. Chief Technology Officer for 15+ years, from startup to listed-company scale, with a decade shipping AI systems to production. Currently CTIO at MESA and CTO & Board Member of LIDIA, its legal-tech AI company, where I took the Lidia platform from MVP to production serving thousands of customers; founder and AI advisor at Radixia. Hands-on by design: architecture reviews, production code, and reference implementations on AWS, in TypeScript and Python. PhD in Computer Engineering · AWS AI Hero · Cursor Ambassador.
Career Highlights
- Legal-tech AI platform taken from MVP to production: thousands of customers, 500k+ GenAI requests/day.
- SaaS platform scaled to 10M+ users at 40% lower latency; 80% of workloads on serverless, infrastructure cost down an order of magnitude.
- Engineering organizations grown and led to 100 engineers, from startup to listed-company scale.
- A ~60-person organization — 35 engineers plus 20–25 business users and functional analysts — moved to AI-assisted delivery: Cursor, Claude Code, and agents inside the SDLC.
