I'm a CPA-turned-technologist seeking leadership roles where I can combine strategic thinking with hands-on technical expertise. Most recently, I've served as chief of staff to a CTO at a global investment firm, where I've led multiple strategic initiatives while maintaining active involvement in technical development.
I'm the creator of Zettelgarden (https://zettelgarden.com), an open-source knowledge management system built with Go and TypeScript. The platform showcases modern software architecture including sophisticated AI capabilities with RAG and LLMs for semantic search and automated knowledge connection. The project demonstrates my ability to architect complex systems while maintaining a focus on user experience and practical business value.
My unique background bridges technical implementation with business strategy. I excel at leading technical teams, managing stakeholder relationships, and driving organizational change through technology.
Interested in: Technical leadership roles (engineering manager, chief of staff, or similar) as my primary focus, but also open to senior individual contributor positions for the right opportunity. Available for both full-time positions and strategic consulting engagements.
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: Yes
Technologies: Go, TypeScript/React, Python, PostgreSQL, LLMs/RAG
