Build. Scale. Fix. Exit.

20 years building products, scaling teams, and closing deals.

Now I work differently. I pair executive-level judgment with AI-powered execution, so you get senior thinking and fast delivery in one engagement. No team to manage. No ramp-up time.

What Stage Are You At?

Every company hits these stages. I've been through all of them.

Build

Going from zero to something real

You have a vision, a market window, or a board mandate. You need someone who's actually built things from scratch, not just advised on it.

I've founded companies, launched products from nothing, and shipped under pressure. I can help you get from idea to working system, fast.

Past work:

Scale

Growing without breaking things

Product-market fit is the fun part. What comes next is harder. More users, more engineers, more complexity, and a hundred ways for things to go sideways.

I've scaled engineering orgs, traffic, and infrastructure at companies where failure wasn't an option. I know what breaks at each stage and how to get ahead of it.

Past work:
  • CoinDesk: 1M to 28M users, engineering org from 1 to 25, 300% engagement lift
  • Two Sigma: 10x latency improvement at $60B+ hedge fund scale
  • Qineqt: led business model transformation from media company to institutional alternative data

Fix

Turning the mess into something valuable

Maybe the last team made some choices. Maybe technical debt has piled up to the point where every sprint feels like wading through mud. I've inherited these situations and turned them around.

I'll dig into the codebase, find what's actually wrong, and fix it. Not just write a report about it.

Past work:
  • ArtBinder: 95% bug reduction, 100x latency improvement. Turnaround led directly to Volaris Group acquisition
  • Inherited and modernized legacy systems across multiple engagements

Exit

Getting the deal done

Whether you're buying a company or selling one, the technical side of the deal can make or break it. I've sat on both sides of the table. Leading due diligence, managing integrations, making sure what's under the hood matches what's on the slide deck.

How I Work

One person. Senior judgment. Unusual speed.

I spent 20 years managing engineering teams. Now I manage AI agent teams with the same discipline. Scoping work, reviewing output, iterating fast. It's a different kind of leverage, but the judgment is the same.

What this means for you: you get a seasoned executive who also executes. I'm not handing your project off to junior staff or billing you for a team you don't need.

Strategy

I see the whole board.

What's the real problem? What should we actually build? I'll help you cut through the noise and focus on what moves the needle.

Execution

I ship the work myself.

Production systems, not slide decks. You're not paying for a plan. You're getting the thing done.

Speed

Days, not weeks.

Work that takes a traditional team or consultancy weeks, I can often deliver in days. Not because I cut corners, but because I've figured out a better way to work.

About

I'm Parker. I've been a CTO, a VP of Engineering, a VP of Product, and a founder. I've built products for Two Sigma, CoinDesk, the New York Stock Exchange, Kenny Loggins, and Marvel. Not a combination most people can claim.

I studied music at Berklee, got into tech, and never quite fit into one category. That's turned out to be an advantage. The best technology work happens at the intersection of systems thinking, product instinct, and knowing how to talk to humans.

After Two Sigma, I moved my family to Santa Barbara. Now I help companies build, scale, fix, and exit faster and leaner than they thought possible.

If you're working on something interesting, I'd love to hear about it.
