About

Bicycle rider. Engineering leader building and scaling teams and systems. Scotch drinker. Not always in that order.

Hi, I’m Scott.

I lead engineering teams building platform capabilities and products that support real business outcomes. My work sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and go-to-market, where I focus on turning ambiguous strategy into execution and helping teams operate effectively at scale.

I got started in 2001, right as the dot-com bubble had burst. It wasn’t exactly the ideal time to get into the industry, but I’ve never been much for conventional wisdom. Two decades later, I’m still here, still building, and still figuring out better ways to make technology actually work for people.

At this point in my career, I spend less time thinking about individual features and more time thinking about systems: how teams are structured, how decisions get made, and how work actually moves from idea to outcome. If something only works because a specific person is holding it together, it’s fragile. I care about building things that hold up without that, even when I’m not in the room.

At the end of the day, my job isn’t just building software. It’s building systems and teams that make meaningful work possible, and making sure the people doing that work have the clarity and support they need to succeed.
