Marketing and lead generation
Kaleidico
Marketing and lead generation for mortgage lenders, law firms and senior living.
Engineer. Researcher. Founder.
I build companies, study what makes teams work, and use both to open doors for others.
More than two decades of engineering, a doctorate on software team efficiency, and a portfolio of operating companies. I help growth-minded leaders replace guesswork with systems that scale.

Why this exists
Most business advice is either pure theory or generic buzzwords, written by people who have never run payroll or fixed a stalled launch.
When technical execution drifts away from business strategy, teams burn out shipping without clear systems, bottlenecks throttle growth, and leaders end up reacting instead of steering. I have spent my career at that seam, as an engineer, as a researcher and as an operator, and I share what I have measured, not what sounds good on a slide.
Theory is cheap. Real leadership is proven by what you build, how your teams perform, and who you lift up along the way.

Research to revenue
Adding engineers rarely fixes a slow team
My doctoral research looked at what actually drives software team efficiency. The short version: throughput is a property of the system, not the headcount. Communication overhead, feedback delay and unclear ownership cost more than most leaders measure.
I turn those findings into audits and playbooks that engineering leaders and CTOs can run without micromanaging a single commit.
Speaking
Frameworks your audience can use, and a story they will remember
I speak to founders, technology leaders and executive teams about engineering scalable organizations, evidence-based management and leading with clarity when life does not cooperate.
Building a profitable company is only step one. What you do with that success is what actually counts.

Why revenue alone is an incomplete score for leaders

Systems and Automation
Automation is not the same thing as scalability
New tools, including AI, do not fix a broken business process. They run it faster, which means they make its mistakes faster too. Automation moves work. Architecture removes…

Why adding software engineers usually slows delivery first
