// ABOUT

Builder’s speed. Auditor’s discipline.

I turn ambiguous product ideas into working systems, from frontend interfaces and AI workflows to backend engineering, while keeping usability, evidence, and risk visible throughout the build. My advantage is range: I can discuss the business problem, work through the technical implementation, and communicate the result to nontechnical stakeholders.

// HOW I BUILD

Fast iteration with accountable judgment.

I use AI as an engineering accelerator, not as a substitute for understanding the work. I define the user flow, direct implementation, inspect what is produced, resolve edge cases, and refine the interface until it feels intentional.

// WHERE I ADD VALUE

Between product, engineering, security, and the customer.

My sales and client-facing background makes me comfortable translating across disciplines. I can uncover what a user actually needs, turn it into a working system, and explain technical tradeoffs in language stakeholders can act on.
