I help founders ship the AI and product work
that actually pays back.
Senior generalist engineer. Builder of internal tools and AI features that get used. Twilio-adjacent in a former life, AI-native in this one. Open to the occasional fractional CTO seat.
Four values I won't bend on.
- 01
Listening before pitching
I will not propose a solution before I understand the problem deeply enough to defend it from your perspective.
- 02
Quoting honestly
If something is going to take twice as long as you hope, you will hear that before the contract is signed — not after.
- 03
Pricing transparently
No hourly mystery-bill, no per-seat creep, no auto-renewal traps. Fixed price or day rate, in writing, in advance.
- 04
Saying no
The single fastest way I add value is telling clients which projects not to do. I aim to do it kindly and clearly.
A short timeline.
-
— 2021
Started building product software professionally. First commercial Twilio integration. Learned what "shipping" actually means.
-
— 2022
Embedded with my first early-stage team as the only senior engineer. Discovered that judgement compounds faster than headcount.
-
— 2023
AI work moved from side-quest to main quest. Built my first production RAG, learned to love evals, watched a lot of demos die in production.
-
— 2024
Shipped the engagements you see in the case studies — fintech, marketing agencies, SMB services. Started focusing exclusively on senior-led AI + product work.
-
— 2026
Now: AI engineer, builder of internal tools that quietly make businesses work better, and the occasional fractional CTO seat. Always too few clients at once on purpose.
Coffee, 30 minutes, no slide deck.
A 30-minute call. I'll ask honest questions, and you'll get honest answers about whether I can help — and whether you should hire me at all.
