why me

Rare combination: deep engineering depth, founding experience, team leadership, and AI fluency — in one person.

I don't just ship features — I design for business outcomes, optimize for retention and revenue, and own the system end-to-end. Most teams call me when they need someone who can hold the whole picture in their head while still writing the code.
