Sixteen years of shipping software. Now building AI products and the teams that ship them.
A.01Aboutprofile
CTO, technology leader, and co-founder. Sixteen years building software across industries — now focused on AI products and the teams that ship them.
I started writing software in 2010, at sixteen. Across fintech, healthcare, real estate, IoT, e-commerce, and ERP, I've moved from full-stack engineer to tech lead to CTO and founder.
That range taught me what I care about most now: understanding the business first, and treating technology as leverage, not as the point.
These days almost everything I do sits at the intersection of AI and product. Designing conversational agents, shaping how systems remember and reason, and deciding what to build, what to buy, and what to automate.
A.02Current focus06 areas
F.01Strategy & product
Ideating, building, and shipping AI products
From product strategy and validation to architecture and execution. Deciding what to build, what to buy, and what to automate.
F.02Tech leadership
Leading teams, systems, and decisions
Shaping technical direction, tradeoffs, and process. Building the conditions where small teams ship like much bigger ones.
F.03Discovery & research
Mapping the AI landscape
Tracking the technologies, frameworks, and concepts shaping AI product work today, and translating them into decisions.
F.04Agentic capabilities
How agents reach, sense, and act
Conversational and multimodal interfaces, multi-channel reach, multi-step workflows, and the orchestration that lets agents and tools work together as a system.
F.05Engineering & research
What makes agents actually work
Context engineering, memory, knowledge bases, evaluations, tool use, autonomous processing, and the patterns behind agents that hold up in production.
F.06Velocity
AI across the SDLC
Multiplying velocity with AI-native tooling, so small teams ship like much bigger ones.
