Engineering executive — SVP, Product Delivery at CareMetx. I build AI-first products on a metadata foundation.
I created MetaObjects in 2001 and used it quietly for two decades as the metadata spine behind consulting and customer platforms — pharma regulatory, patented content systems, secure messaging, payments, and online gaming. AI made that approach matter at industry scale, so I'm rebuilding it TypeScript-first and bringing it to market.
