Founding Engineer for hire — I specialize in building AI SaaS from scratch.

I have ~20 years of experience and have been a founding engineer or senior engineer at multiple US startups:

- Edge Delta (observability): built an AI chatbot to manipulate the visual pipeline builder

- Runy (real estate): AI-driven property management platform

- Braid Health (AI radiology): integrated AI outputs into clinician-facing tools

- Toolio (retail SaaS), SellerCrowd (adtech marketplace)

I take products from 0→1: fast MVPs, production-ready SaaS, and AI-powered features that real users rely on. Open to early-stage full-time roles, fractional CTO, or contract positions.
