I've been building technology for over twenty years — through acquisitions, scale-ups, and the occasional pivot that saved the company.

I started in geomatics engineering at the University of Calgary, then followed curiosity through construction technology, satellite imagery, agriculture tech, mobile security, game development, self-driving vehicles, and e-commerce platforms for the alcohol industry. The through-line is the same: figuring out how to build things that work, in domains where the problem isn't obvious yet.

Today I run three things. 2Lines Software is a mid-market CTO practice — I work with CEOs and boards in regulated industries to turn technology investment into intellectual property. Discontinuity.ai is where I build AI-native products and help companies adopt AI in ways that actually ship. And 1864 Ventures is a lower-middle-market investment fund, focused on building capabilities and scaling companies.

I've been a CTO through multiple acquisitions — at Mob4Hire (mobile crowdtesting, acquired), Decisive Farming (precision agriculture, acquired), and BlackSquare (e-commerce for alcohol brands). The pattern across all of them: show up when the problem is messy, build the thing that needs to exist, make it work in production, and leave the organization stronger than you found it.

I work out of Calgary and serve clients across North America. Most of the work happens in mid-market companies in regulated industries — fintech, payments, energy, agriculture, retail — though the problem shapes show up similarly wherever the industry takes technology seriously.

This site is the writing. The thinking happens here in public, learning-first. The credential is in the work, not in every sentence.
