I’m a CTO, founding engineer and leader with over 25 years of experience developing innovative solutions in both corporate and startup environments. I’ve personally architected, deployed and maintained production services utilizing much of AWS, built out the CI/CD infrastructure and scaled out the team to build on it. I have a thorough understanding of the software development lifecycle, and throughout my career, I’ve been a part of, worked closely with, or managed teams on the front-end, backend, QA, Ops and Security. A believer in a DevOps culture, I’m always looking for ways to help teams work more efficiently.
I can help you achieve your goals by guiding you in many aspects of software engineering including:
- Software Development Life Cycle
- Team Management Advice (local/remote/hybrid)
- Resume Review and Career Advice
- Defining Requirements and Roadmapping
- Software Architecture Design
- Coding Standards and Practices
- System Performance, Scalability, Reliability
- Security and Compliance
- Agile Best Practices
- DevOps

Working with James has been an excellent experience. He shared his knowledge generously and offered perspectives that really helped me grow in my role. Our conversations were always practical and focused, and I consistently came away with ideas I could put into action right away. I’m leaving the mentorship with much more clarity, confidence, and motivation about my path forward. It’s been great to have him as a mentor, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to grow. Thank you, James!

I was seeking a mentor to help lead the Tech team, since I wasn't experienced in it, and James was very practical in giving actionable recommendations from the beginning. He shared some materials with me when I needed them, was flexible about changing the meeting schedule, and helped me to navigate the leadership for the past 8-9 months. I recommend him if you need a high-level mentor to share your challenges.

James was a great listener and great at pinpointing previous issues that I needed help unpacking. He was able to provide alternative routes I could have chosen, missed opportunities for professional growth, and ultimately what I need to do to level up in my current and future roles. James asked questions I never considered since I can sometimes get too deep in the weeds. With these new insights and perspectives, I'm excited to continue along my professional journey.
