Software Engineering Researcher & Serial Entrepreneur.

Since 2020 I’ve turned to my passion: researching software engineering productivity.

Before this, I served as CTO at Crunchyroll, where I led the engineering team through rapid subscriber and team growth, transitioning from a data center monolith to a microservice-based cloud architecture. Crunchyroll itself was acquired by AT&T/WarnerMedia and later by Sony in a $1.2 billion deal.

Originally founded YOPESO in 2005, growing it to hundreds of engineers across the US, Europe, and Asia.
