I’m a builder experienced in taking products from early uncertainty to reliable, scalable systems.
I’ve worked as an engineer and CTO at early-stage startups, making foundational technical decisions under real constraints—small teams, limited time, and evolving requirements—across architecture, AI/ML feasibility, and production scaling.
Today, I partner with founders and small teams to bring clarity to what to build, how to build it, and which trade-offs matter most at their stage.
