Seven-plus years since 2018. Early at Zuddl (YC S20) through its $13.35M Series A, now founding engineer at SynergyBoat, an AI products studio. I build AI-native products end to end: agent platforms, MCP tooling, sandboxed execution, and the gates that keep them honest.

Experience

ChargerDojo

Lead Engineer · at SynergyBoat Nov 2025 to present

  • Built a mutant-peer harness: every conformance check is either proven able to fail against a deliberately broken peer, or listed as one no mutation may name.
  • Gated the build on more than 1,500 spec citations; drift from the OCPI spec stops the build.
  • Ran more than 15,000 automated tests on every change, and shipped on blue/green deploys.
  • Hosted an MCP server: protocol questions unauthenticated, account data behind a key.
  • Wrote a Go connector so a customer can test an endpoint that sits behind a firewall.
  • Paying B2B customers, among them a NYSE-listed payment terminal provider.

SynergyBoat

Founding Engineer & CTO · part-time alongside Zuddl until 2024, full-time from 2024 Jul 2023 to present

  • Built the agent platform SDK: MCP tooling, sandboxed execution on isolated-vm and Deno, and queued work on Redis, PostgreSQL and BullMQ.
  • Built Dexter, four deterministic checks over a saved file or an agent's diff: architecture, convention, pattern and complexity. Every check is plain code and none calls a model.
  • Built DeepQuery, gated and validated plain-English queries across seven database connectors, and Draftly, a content platform whose seven agents each ask for a model tier and fail over up the chain.
  • A US EV startup building on the platform moved to 150+ B2B clients, cut its per-client engineering cost by about 40%, and extended its runway on a $2M seed.

Zuddl (YC S20)

Senior Software Engineer Apr 2023 to Dec 2023

Software Engineer II Jun 2021 to Mar 2023

  • Shipped Webinar Platform v1 from scratch to a public release date, on a new design system.
  • Built dynamic access control with session and zone permissions, and the live event experience across stage, polls, A/V and networking.
  • Covered it with controller and repository-level integration tests.
  • Mentored three engineers through code review, technical guidance and pairing.
  • Stayed through the $13.35M Series A.

SDE Mar 2020 to May 2021

  • Engineering at a $500K pre-seed fund, alongside the early-stage teams it backed.
  • Planned and launched the fund's first B2B cohort in 60 days, and profiled startups for investment decisions.

Fnplus

Co-founder 2018 to 2020

  • Invite-only builder community, grown to 1K+ members.
  • Built a gamified learning platform and ran a team of five across product and engineering.

Projects

Lens Open source · TypeScript, Bun, MCP

A consent layer between AI agents and your data. It gives an agent a scoped, auditable, revocable slice of Gmail by matching intent, not by handing over raw OAuth scopes.

trustmebro Open source · TypeScript, ast-grep

A completeness benchmark for AI coding agents. It grades behavioral coverage and uses deterministic static analysis to find the gap between looks-done and is-done, with no LLM judge in the loop.

EquityOS Bun, Hono, React, SQLite

An AI research co-pilot for public markets. It turns public market data into plain-English calls and gates any live trade behind a paper-trade track record. Local-first, read-only by default.

Instify Kotlin, Firebase, RxJava

An Android app for students and faculty: ERP monitoring, events and note-sharing. 10K+ downloads at 4.5 stars.
