Shaping products, not managing backlogs.

Building tools for how small AI-native teams actually work.

About

I'm a product and technology leader who believes the best software comes from small, focused teams with clear methodology.

Currently CPTO at PtEverywhere, where I lead product and engineering for physical therapy practice management software. Previously built products at Spiffy in the automotive space.

I write and speak about Shape Up methodology, AI-augmented product development, and how small teams can ship big products. When I'm not building software, I'm playing bass in a cover band, syncing Christmas lights to music, or watching my kids discover the joy of making things.
