TL;DR

I build systems that remove friction.

Automation.
Integrations.
Data.
AI — used carefully.

If it saves time, reduces risk, or creates leverage, I’m interested.


I like the messy middle.

The space between product, engineering, data, and ops.
Where problems are cross-functional, slightly annoying, and important enough to matter.

I like turning:

  • manual work into automation
  • fuzzy ideas into real systems
  • fragile setups into boring reliability

Customer impact comes first.
Internal leverage follows when the system is right.

I ship outcomes.

Not demos.
Not frameworks for the sake of frameworks.
Real things that scale and keep working.


I stay hands-on.

I love getting my hands dirty.
That hasn’t changed.

You’ll find me:

  • designing integrations and shaping APIs
  • automating the boring, breakable stuff
  • modeling data, writing SQL, working in Snowflake
  • debugging edge cases and brittle systems

Especially early. Especially messy. Especially high-impact.


A few things I’ve built at Tatango:

  • scaled integrations into a core platform capability
  • ~10× growth in accounts using integrations
  • unlocked new TAM across major CRM & fundraising platforms
  • donation attribution and reporting tracking $1B+ in nonprofit fundraising
  • a modern data stack (Snowflake + dbt + Lightdash BI)
  • automation saving hundreds of product hours per year

Most of this never shows up in release notes — but teams feel it.


My general rules:

  • start with the outcome
  • define “done” early
  • make tradeoffs explicit
  • progress beats perfection
  • “we’ll clean it up later” isn’t a plan

Tools I reach for often: Tray, Zapier, n8n, Postman, Claude Code, ChatGPT


Right now, I’m focused on:

  • making integrations a real platform advantage
  • deeper bi-directional CRM sync
  • self-serve integration setup
  • standardized configuration that scales

If this ever feels aspirational instead of accurate, call it out.
