How I work

AI is a value-add, not a reason. The product still has to make sense to the customer without it.

I build AI-native systems because I want founders to ship products that actually work. Seven years across YC-backed startups and founding-stage teams have taught me that the difference between a demo and a system is whether it survives production load, real users, and constraints the pitch deck never mentioned. The work is technical; the reason it exists isn’t.

Fractional CTO engagements with founders shipping AI-native systems.

Currently open to selective fractional-CTO conversations.
