I turn businessproblems intoworking products.

I work with founders and operating teams from the first product decision through launch. I help define the scope, make the technical calls, and stay involved until the product works for its users.

10 years

building software

I began as an engineer. The work grew from there.

I started out building websites, APIs, and backend systems. As the projects became larger, clients began bringing me into earlier decisions: what the product should do, what belonged in the first release, and which choices would be expensive to undo later.

Since then, I have worked on SaaS, AI, ecommerce, sales, finance, healthcare, and Web3 products. Some began as rough ideas. Others were already live and needed a stronger direction. In both cases, my job is to make the problem clear and move the product forward.

Today I lead AI and product development at AIOVIX. I still review architecture, work through difficult integrations, and stay involved after launch.

01

Understand the work first

I start by asking how the work happens today, where it breaks down, and what a better result would look like for the people using it.

02

Make clear technical choices

I stay close to the architecture, data, integrations, and difficult engineering decisions instead of passing them down the line.

03

See it through real use

The work is not finished when the demo looks good. It is finished when users can rely on it and the team can support what was built.

Ten years, from developer to product lead.

My roles became broader, but I never moved far from the engineering.
