Founding CTO &
hands-on builder.

I hired Brett early on in myHealthTrack and five years later I still think it's one of the best calls I made as a founder. He quickly made the call that our product wasn't ready to scale, rebuilt it from the ground up, brought infrastructure management in-house under his ownership, then eventually hired and led the team that grew everything from there.

What set Brett apart wasn't just his technical skills, it was also his judgment. We're in healthcare, so security and compliance are critical. Brett owned that from day one. He built a custom encrypted vault for patient health data, got us through a SOC 2 readiness assessment, and kept us HIPAA compliant for the 5+ years he was with us.

Brett handled the scaling of our platform and we never had a significant outage under his watch. He cut our infrastructure costs by 40% and stayed deeply hands-on the entire way, even as the team grew around him. He stayed on through our leadership transition this year because he genuinely cared about the outcome. Any company lucky enough to get Brett as a technical leader is getting someone who builds like a founder.

I've worked with Brett on basically every project I've done in my career. We've worked as peers. I've worked for him, and he's worked for me. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

There is nothing Brett can't do at an elite level. Not only can he set technical direction, scale products, manage people, and lead teams, but he can also design, write code, build and administer servers, and get deep into the infrastructure himself. And he's done all of this across consumer apps and enterprise SaaS, even building complex systems in regulated industries.

Brett and I go back to the days when we had to manually install SSL certs and integrate payment processors pre-Stripe. His technical depth comes from having done things the hard way, but he also recognizes when there's a better way. I've watched him do exactly that with AI, adopting new tools as they've emerged and developing genuinely AI-native workflows.

Beyond all of that, Brett is a genuinely great person and a joy to work with. He communicates clearly with everyone from CEOs to junior developers and interns, and he treats people at every level with the same respect.

He's exactly the person I'd want leading technology and product at my company.

I worked closely with Brett for years while myHealthTrack scaled, and what stuck with me wasn't just what he built, it was how well he ran things day to day. He set up our CI/CD pipeline from nothing, cut our deployment time way down, and kept a distributed team moving: code review standards, an agile rhythm, the kind of operational groundwork you only notice when it's not there.

He was the guy you wanted around when things got tight, whether that was a platform handling over a million API calls a month or the parts of the job that founders quietly dread: security, compliance, the AWS bill, the audit questions.

That same instinct showed up in newer stuff too, like our early AI work on triage and adaptive exercise programs. He always asked how it would hold up once real patients were using it and where the line needed to be drawn between AI and human involvement.

Brett's one of the rare people who can go deep on the technical side and also build and run the team around him. Working with him made my job easier for years, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I worked with Brett for 4 years at myHealthTrack, while he served as our Chief Technology Officer. During that time, I learned a tremendous amount from him, particularly through his expertise in software architecture, product development, and building technology from the ground up. He excels at taking ideas from 0 to 1 and turning them into well executed products.

One of Brett's greatest strengths is his communication. He has a unique ability to bridge the gaps between the technical and non-technical. This allows him to plan development thoroughly and keep the needs of end users center to every decision.

Above all, Brett consistently delivers. His passion for technology is evident in the quality of his work and ability to execute. In looking for a technology leader who combines technical expertise with strong communication and dependability, I highly recommend Brett.

I was fortunate to work under Brett's leadership, and I'd be happy to speak further about my experience working with him.
