Two decades turning hard technical bets into shipped products — and a $140M+ CAD exit.
I build engineering teams, products, and systems that survive scale. Today I'm CTO at LiORA, building the world's first Environmental Intelligence Platform — deep tech where software ships alongside science teams and hardware.
Before that, as CTPO at Humi, I led technology and product through its $140M+ CAD acquisition by Employment Hero — a Phoenix/Elixir HRTech platform serving thousands of Canadian businesses and processing over $2B CAD in payroll annually. I've been building software professionally for two decades across eCommerce, FinTech, and HRTech, and I care about sustainable growth: teams that ship reliably without burning out.
