Technical Leader and Architect

I'm a CPA-turned-technologist seeking leadership roles where I can combine strategic thinking with hands-on technical expertise. Most recently, I've served as chief of staff to a CTO at a global investment firm, where I've led multiple strategic initiatives while maintaining active involvement in technical development. I'm the creator of Zettelgarden, an open-source knowledge management system built with Go and TypeScript. The platform showcases modern software architecture including sophisticated AI capabilities with RAG and LLMs for semantic search and automated knowledge connection. The project demonstrates my ability to architect complex systems while maintaining a focus on user experience and practical business value. My unique background bridges technical implementation with business strategy. I excel at leading technical teams, managing stakeholder relationships, and driving organizational change through technology.
