Head of Engineering · Revin
Over a decade building and scaling large distributed backend systems — and leading the teams that build them. Lately, bringing AI agents into production.
2024 — Present
Lead engineering at Revin. Brought AI agents from prototype into production, grew the business from five-figure to seven-figure ARR, and built the systems that now support over half a billion dollars in revenue for our customers.
Replaced a rigid, single-vendor data pipeline with a modular, plugin-based architecture. New data-partner integrations dropped from three months to about a week — unlocking cheaper partners and over $3M in annual savings.
Built a tiered model linking product usage to outcomes. Top-tier customers saw 4.8× daily active conversations and 9.5× pipeline; it became core to how Customer Success onboards and evaluates accounts.
Designed the systems behind Drift's contact graph as it grew from millions to ~20 billion records and 1 TB to 90 TB. Polyglot persistence across MySQL, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch, and S3 — 31M daily visits at 15K OPS.
Contacts were capped by 32-bit IDs — a looming Y2K-style shutdown. Led a 12-person team rewriting ~10% of the codebase across 600+ PRs, moving primary keys to 64-bit with under five minutes of downtime.

2017 — 2024
Grew from engineer to senior engineering leadership over seven years. Architected the Contact & Account products and integrations (Marketo, Zapier, Salesforce — influencing $1M+ in ARR), scaled Elixir clusters to millions of concurrent connections, then led data-systems and integrations teams, drove SOC2, and mentored rising managers and technical leaders through launches like the Microsoft Dynamics integration.
2014 — 2017
Technical architecture and mentorship; built reference-data and distributed-cache frameworks (Spring, Pivotal GemFire) that improved reliability and cut memory footprint 33%.
