Over the past decade, I've helped companies operating in regulated, compliance-heavy environments turn complex ideas into production-ready platforms without losing control over quality, security, or delivery speed.



As CEO of CodeLions and Fractional CTO at Techstars, I sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and compliance where most of the expensive mistakes happen.



What we've built at CodeLions:



	• 76+ digital platforms and AI-enabled products delivered across regulated sectors

	• up to 40% faster delivery through our proprietary ScaleFlex™ engineering framework

	• systems built to HIPAA, GDPR, SOC2, DORA, and EU AI Act requirements

	• audit-ready architectures that survive scrutiny, not just launch day



What I've learned building in high-stakes environments:



Good intentions don't pass audits. Architecture, documentation, auditability, and incident readiness determine whether a product is truly market-ready — not just technically functional.



That's why compliance has to be designed in from day one, not bolted on after the fact.



At CodeLions, we specialize in two moments that matter most for regulated businesses:



	1. Legacy Transformation: modernizing systems that have become a liability before they become a crisis.

	2. Tech Audit Readiness: preparing engineering organizations to meet regulatory, investor, or enterprise due diligence standards.



As a Techstars mentor, I also support early-stage founders navigating the intersection of product ambition and compliance reality helping them make better technical decisions early and avoid costly rework later.



Before CodeLions, I led cross-functional engineering teams across early-stage and scaling companies. That experience shaped one principle I return to consistently: speed and compliance are not opposites — poor architecture is.



If you're building in a regulated environment where trust, resilience, and delivery quality are non-negotiable — let's connect.
