I build the technology that powers creative teams. For the past 15 years, I've helped studios ship films, games, and products by making sure the infrastructure, tools, and support systems actually work.

Background

I started my career at Apple, moved into streaming at Pandora, and then found my way to Snap during its hypergrowth years. That's where I learned how to build IT organizations that scale.

From there, I joined Lucasfilm and helped stand up the Production IT team that supported The Mandalorian and the rest of the Star Wars series. I've since led technology teams at PlayStation Studios and Disney, and I'm now leading technology across Annapurna's film, animation, and games divisions.

My approach: build systems that get out of people's way, hire great people, and stay close to the work.
