I have more than a decade of leadership experience in communications, product launches, operations, marketing, brand strategy and awareness, and internal/external messaging. I'm also the author of Unreported: A Media Relations Guide To Killing Stories.
As CEO & Founder of Megnify, I now help AI startups go from invisible to unmissable through my signature Visibility Sprint. The Visibility Sprint is a 2-week intensive for AI companies to help sharpen messaging, amplify AI company presence, build trust, and make investors chase them.
My professional journey has spanned various roles in numerous industries. Most recently, I served as Head of Growth for Pinpoint Targeting, a precision advertising solution by Rational 360. Previously, I served as Director of Marketing at NLX, a SaaS-based conversational AI company, where my strategic content development and persuasive messaging have played a vital role in capturing the attention of investors, media, and customers, contributing to the company's successful scaling efforts.
Prior to NLX and post-MBA, I followed my curiosity to a role in Operations at Amazon, where I managed the maintenance and repairs of +85,000 delivery vehicles for +3,000 delivery service partners. I launched mobile maintenance repairs at +30 stations and collaborated with Amazon’s last-mile delivery team to ensure every vehicle was operational for Peak 2022.
Throughout my career, I have also made significant contributions to prominent media organizations. I held key communications roles at POLITICO and Axios, a startup media company that was recently acquired by Cox Enterprises for over half a billion dollars. I began my career as a producer at WGAL News 8, where I led a team of reporters, anchors, videographers, editors, and breaking news personnel to deliver a captivating live half-hour broadcast.
Hailing from New Jersey, I earned an MBA from George Washington University and hold a BA in Broadcast Journalism from The Pennsylvania State University.

I'm a senior software engineer and technical leader with over 30 years of experience building high-performance systems for startups, media companies, and enterprise platforms. I specialize in backend architecture, functional programming, and system design, with deep experience in Go, Elixir, and Python. I've led engineering teams, shipped production software across a range of stacks (Rails, Django, Flask, FastAPI, Phoenix, gRPC, GraphQL, Kubernetes), and delivered mission-critical features in areas like streaming media, mobile infrastructure, and AI/ML pipelines.
Beyond hands-on coding, I’ve run Elixir training workshops across the US and Europe, launched internship programs to support underrepresented developers, and trained in both product leadership (SVPG) and management (AIM Utah LDI). I bring a "simple and demonstrably correct" approach to every project—prioritizing clarity, testability, and long-term maintainability.
I'm available for remote freelance and contract opportunities—especially those that value thoughtful architecture, fast iteration, and strong collaboration between product and engineering.More...
