About Me


The Short Version

I build products that bridge the physical and digital worlds. With 20+ years of experience, I turn complex ideas into real solutions—hardware, software, and SaaS products that solve actual problems for real people.

The Journey

My path started with an Electrical and Electronics degree, followed by a Master's in Embedded Systems. What began as curiosity about how things work evolved into a career of making things that actually work—from medical devices to mobile platforms to cloud-based solutions.

Over two decades, I've learned that the most interesting challenges live at the intersection of hardware and software. That's where theory meets reality, where elegant designs face real-world constraints, and where great products are born.

What I Do

I'm a product development leader who specializes in bringing complex ideas to life. My experience spans:

  • Hardware-software integration: Building products where the physical and digital seamlessly connect
  • Full lifecycle development: From initial concept through market launch and beyond
  • Cross-domain expertise: Medical devices, robotics, mobile platforms, and SaaS products
  • Team leadership: Growing autonomous, high-performing teams that ship meaningful products

I've worked across the spectrum—from early-stage startups figuring out product-market fit to Fortune 500 companies executing large-scale digital transformations. The constant? Turning vision into reality through solid engineering and strategic thinking.

The Technical Foundation

I believe in hands-on leadership. My technical background covers the full product stack:

Core Technologies: Embedded C, C++, Python, Qt, Bash, Yocto, Buildroot

Platforms: Linux-based systems, embedded platforms, cloud infrastructure

Approach: Open source advocate, believer in building on solid foundations rather than reinventing the wheel

I'm comfortable whether we're discussing system architecture with engineers or business strategy with executives. The best products require both perspectives.

How I Lead

My leadership philosophy centers on servant leadership and practical pragmatism:

  • Empower teams to make decisions and own outcomes
  • Use data to inform strategy while trusting intuition built from experience
  • Prototype rapidly and iterate based on real feedback
  • Bridge gaps between technical teams, business stakeholders, and end users
  • Focus on impact over activity—shipping meaningful products matters more than perfect processes

I've learned that great products come from great teams, and great teams need clarity, autonomy, and someone who removes obstacles rather than creates them.

The Philosophy

After 20 years in the field, a few principles guide my work:

Human-centered design matters. Technology should serve people, not the other way around. The best products solve real problems in ways that feel natural to use.

Collaboration beats hero culture. Cross-functional teams that communicate well build better products than isolated experts working in silos.

Ship and iterate. Perfect is the enemy of done. Get something real into users' hands, learn from it, and improve.

Open source amplifies impact. Building on and contributing back to the community creates better outcomes for everyone.

Beyond the Resume

I'm an Android enthusiast, gadget explorer, and Linux advocate who genuinely enjoys the process of making things. Whether it's tinkering with embedded systems or evaluating new development tools, I'm driven by curiosity about how things work and how they can work better.

My goal isn't just to build products—it's to build products that make a difference. Technology that helps people do their jobs better, medical devices that improve patient outcomes, platforms that solve real inefficiencies. The unsexy but meaningful stuff that actually matters.

Let's Talk

Whether you're tackling a complex product challenge, looking for leadership that bridges technical and business worlds, or want to discuss the intersection of hardware and software—I'm always interested in meaningful conversations.

I bring experience, perspective, and a track record of shipping products that work. And yes, probably some strong opinions about Linux and open source too.
