About

I am currently building Leo (leodavinci.ai)—an autonomous coding engineer that transforms a single natural-language prompt into a live, production-grade application with a deployed URL. Leo autonomously plans, codes, tests, integrates APIs, provisions infrastructure, and deploys complete systems—without human-written code—closing the delivery gap between idea and execution. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve built and scaled enterprise software, AI platforms, and mission-critical infrastructure across startups and Fortune 100 companies. I’ve served as CEO, CTO, and Chief Scientist, led global organizations of 475+ professionals across engineering, product, security, and operations, managed budgets approaching $70M, and driven billions in enterprise value creation alongside significant revenue growth. Previously, as Global CTO & Chief Scientist at Jumio, I led the company’s transition from manual identity verification to a fully automated, AI-first platform. This included building compliant AI/ML pipelines, achieving ISO 27001 certification, scaling cloud-native microservices globally, integrating acquisitions, and establishing enterprise-grade security and GDPR-compliant machine learning—positioning the company as a market leader in identity verification and compliance technology. My work spans Generative AI, agentic and autonomous systems, enterprise SaaS, identity verification (KYC/KYX), data privacy, cybersecurity, and cloud platforms. I’ve led multiple technology transformations, acquisition integrations, and global cloud migrations, and I hold 281 issued U.S. patents across AI, distributed systems, and network technologies. With Leo, I’m focused on what I believe is the next inflection point in software: autonomous systems that don’t assist developers—but replace entire software delivery pipelines. We are currently opening private beta with select design partners.
