AI product and technology leader, former CTO, founder, and hands-on engineer with 20+ years in software and 10+ years building applied AI.

I specialize in zero-to-one AI products and agentic systems, from product strategy and architecture through frontend, backend, AI workflows, infrastructure, and production.

Currently building Digital Workers, an open-source AI operating system for small businesses, and consulting on agentic products for M&A/legal and marketing procurement.

Previously CTO at YC S21 and Techstars-backed startups. Built AI products spanning LLMs, computer vision, semantic search, recommendation systems, generative media, and large-scale distributed infrastructure. Two companies I helped build were later acquired by OpenAI and LDC/private equity, and the assets of my own GenAI startup were acquired.

Looking for Staff/Principal AI Engineer, Founding Engineer, Head of AI/Engineering, CTO, or technical co-founder opportunities where I can stay hands-on and help take ambitious AI products from zero to production.
