Fractional CTO for growing technology companies. Three decades building products and teams at Adobe, Netflix, Box, Meta, and Output.
At Adobe, I was a major force behind Photoshop and co-created Creative Cloud. At Netflix, I led content acquisition engineering for 65M+ customers. At Box, I grew the Platform business from $1MM to $100MM+ and created the patented Box Skills ML interface. At Meta, I protected $100B+ in yearly ad revenue as owner of Ads Manager reliability, reducing downtime from one day per week to six minutes.
I believe innovation should elevate creativity and community, not exploit them. I now bring that perspective to growing companies through Coven LLC.
