Summary

Entrepreneurial technical leader who reads a market and a business model as fluently as a system diagram, then applies the minimum effective dosage of technology to turn it into shipped value. I run an early stage AI product studio, building AI products from a blank page to production, and I build hands on every day with AI assisted engineering and software factories (Claude Code, Codex CLI, custom agent harnesses). Before that I scaled and ran engineering delivery organizations of up to 50 people, owning staffing, culture and retention. Systems Engineer with an MBA; 15+ years turning fuzzy, high stakes situations into working software. My edge is not being the deepest specialist in the room, it is seeing where technology actually moves the needle, turning it into something that ships, and knowing which specialists to hire to guarantee the -ilities.
