01About

A product leader who builds, not just advises.

Who you’d be working with, and why the combination of product judgment and hands-on building is the whole point.

02Background

Eight years building systems that had to work at scale.

I spent 8+ years as a VP of Product building complex, compliance-aware systems for major U.S. financial institutions and top broker-dealers: rule-based tools, new regulatory solutions, and workflow systems where being wrong wasn’t an option.

[NEEDS INPUT: confirm any specific employer names OK to use; keep to role + scale; no dollar figures, no equity exit, don’t over-weight the brief Domo tenure.]

03The bilingual operator

Most AI builders are missing one half of the job.

Most people offering AI builds are either strategists who can’t ship or coders who don’t understand a business. The value here is both: deep product and business judgment and hands-on building. I understand CAC, ROI, and unit economics as fluently as RAG, models, and integrations, which means I can tell the difference between something impressive and something worth paying for.

04Why now

A genuine inflection point, and a craft worth doing well.

We’re at a real inflection point, where the right tools can help a business grow revenue, cut cost, and improve the customer experience at the same time: a genuine win-win, not a trade-off. I love the craft of turning a real problem into working software, and I choose the work and the people I take on deliberately.

05Demonstration

The proof is what I’ve already built.

Until there are case studies to point to, here’s the most honest evidence I can offer: the tools I built and use to run this business myself. Not prototypes, the systems I rely on day to day.

  • A custom CRM

    Built and run day-to-day to manage relationships and pipeline. Not a demo, the real tool behind this business.

  • An internal accounting tool

    Purpose-built to track the numbers the way the business actually thinks about them, instead of bending to off-the-shelf software.

  • An AI “intelligence layer” knowledge base

    A searchable, AI-assisted wiki that turns scattered notes and documents into answers on demand.

  • Task-specific AI agents

    Focused agents for research and repetitive work, the same kind of automation built for clients.
