Building AI Agents That Let Small Teams Do Big Things
Helping startups stretch funding through intelligent automation — backed by 20+ years of building scalable systems, leading engineering orgs, and shipping products that matter.
// about
Background
I'm a hands-on product and engineering executive with over two decades of experience building software systems — from bare-metal infrastructure to cloud-native platforms to AI-powered automation. My career spans enterprise architecture, startup CTO roles, and engineering leadership across fintech, e-commerce, and developer tools.
I've built and led globally distributed, 100% remote engineering organizations, and I'm a strong believer that the best teams are built on mentorship, trust, and asking the right questions — not micromanagement.
These days, I'm focused on the intersection of AI agents and startup efficiency. I believe small, well-tooled teams can outperform organizations ten times their size when they leverage intelligent automation strategically.
Based in Pasadena, California, I work with founders and engineering teams to design and build AI agent systems that handle the work of entire departments — letting humans focus on the creative, strategic work that actually moves the needle.
