Credibility

Executive leadership

I serve as Chief Technology Officer at SK Intertainment, where I lead technology strategy across multiple digital businesses. Outside of those executive responsibilities, I selectively advise founders and leadership teams on architecture, AI adoption, engineering leadership, and platform modernization.

Proof

Selected outcomes

Executive leadership grounded in hands-on engineering.

• Defined and executed technology strategy across multiple high-traffic digital businesses supporting millions of customer interactions annually.
• Led multi-year platform modernization from legacy Ruby on Rails into scalable Node.js service-oriented architectures with uninterrupted operations.
• Reduced annual cloud infrastructure costs by several thousand dollars while improving deployment reliability.
• Mentored engineering managers and senior engineers while building distributed teams capable of owning product, platform, and infrastructure independently.
• Rolled out AI-assisted engineering workflows across multiple teams, improving productivity without sacrificing quality or maintainability.

Capabilities

Where depth shows up

Experience, sound technical judgment, and execution across leadership, architecture, and AI.

Focus

How I create leverage

Strategy and architecture with accountability for how work actually ships.

• Technology Strategy Roadmaps, investment priorities, risk and vendor evaluation
• Fractional Leadership Executive counsel, team direction, delivery accountability
• Architecture Platform modernization, distributed systems, scalability and reliability
• Engineering Operations Standards, process, observability, deployment and mentorship
• AI Adoption Applied AI, workflow automation and engineering productivity
• Technical Due Diligence Architecture, delivery, infrastructure and organizational assessment

When to call

Typical engagements

I typically partner with companies that need senior technical leadership - someone who can help shape strategy while staying close enough to execution to keep delivery moving.

• A senior technical sounding board for founders and leadership teams
• Architecture review before scaling or a major platform investment
• Interim / fractional CTO leadership
• AI adoption strategy and practical workflow implementation
• Engineering team assessment and delivery improvement
• Executive technical interviews for key engineering hires
• Platform modernization without a risky big-bang rewrite
• Cloud cost optimization and reliability improvements
• Technical due diligence for investment or acquisition decisions

Ways we can work together

Engagement models

Here's why people call - and what that work usually looks like.

• Fractional CTO (5-10 hours per week) When you need weekly executive technical leadership without adding full-time headcount - planning, architecture oversight, and delivery accountability.
• Architecture Review Before a rewrite, major investment, or scale-up - one-week assessment with written recommendations, risk analysis, and a practical roadmap.
• AI Engineering Assessment When you want more engineering productivity without unnecessary tools - workflow review, tooling guidance, ROI framing, and an implementation plan.
• Technical Due Diligence Before an investment or acquisition decision - platform review, code quality, team assessment, and a clear risk report.
