Hello 👋 I joined Gildre back in March right before going on a trip so got distracted from saying high. Then, “life happened” on my way back from vacation, and here we are 3 months later and I’m just now saying hi.

Background:
I’ve been CTO or a high-level technologist in a number of companies. I also was the Head of Education for a prominent national coding bootcamp based out of San Francisco, CA. Currently I run a software development agency building custom applications. We are specialists in e-commerce, logistics & warehousing, mobile and AI.

Why I joined Gildre:
I joined Gildre to surround myself with growth-minded folks who share my passion for continuous evolution. I’m trying to grow my (small) company from a services organization to a product-centric organization, and move myself out of an operational role and into a strategic one. I hope to get support and guidance from the mentors at Gildre on this journey.

Feel free to connect with me on Linked In:
