Your next product.
Built for real use.
I help founders and teams launch web, mobile, and AI products—and improve the ones they already have. You work directly with the engineer who designs, builds, and ships the system.
A new build, an existing app, or a workflow that needs fixing.
What do you need to move forward?

Full-Stack Build
ChalkLens.
Offline lesson kits for teachers, powered by local Gemma 4 inference. A Flutter desktop app that turns textbook PDFs and scanned pages into classroom-ready lessons — explanations, teaching notes, quizzes, activities, and homework — without ever touching the cloud. Built for the reality that most classrooms can't depend on reliable internet, with a Present mode for laptop-based teaching and a Student Help flow grounded in lesson context.

Full-Stack Build
StackFlight.
StackFlight is an AI-powered startup validation product that turns an early idea into a proof score, priority risks, live market evidence, and a concrete validation plan. I built and shipped the product end to end, including the application experience, authentication, AI workflow, saved validations, analytics, and production deployment.

Product & Full-Stack Build
StackSpeech.
A voice-first Mac productivity app for people who work with AI every day. Press Fn from any app, speak naturally, and StackSpeech removes filler and repetition, turns the thought into a clear prompt, and places it directly at the active cursor. I built the product experience around an interruption-free workflow, with hold-or-toggle capture, a live listening indicator, safe cancellation, and a paid early-access pilot for real-world validation.

Full-Stack AI Build
TalkPatch.
A self-directed demo for configuring AI phone agents across inbound and outbound call workflows. I built the product experience for defining agent behavior, opening lines, voice settings, and business-specific guardrails, then used it to demonstrate a dental receptionist flow for appointment requests, urgent-call triage, and human handoff.

Full Stack Engineer
Voho AI.
Enterprise AI call-center platform with LiveKit-powered voice agents for inbound and outbound calling.

Software Engineer
Nucleus AI.
An AI-agnostic knowledge infrastructure platform — your second brain for work. Nucleus ingests documents, Gmail, Drive, and links into a single source of truth that any AI tool can query via MCP, returning natural-language answers with source citations and no folder overhead. I ship across the Next.js product surface, the API layer, and the retrieval model that makes unified search fast and grounded.

Full Stack & Growth Engineer
The Social App.
A social platform for monetized group chats — ranked #1 on Product Hunt. Available on iOS and Android, it lets users and organizations launch paid or regular group chats in seconds. I work across the Flutter codebase, the native iOS offline-messaging layer, the backend, deployments, and growth engineering.

Frontend Tech Lead
Aortem.
Dart's first-ever serverless framework as a service (FaaS) — deploy your Flutter apps as you build them. Led the frontend and developer experience of the platform, shaping how Flutter developers shipped serverless backends without leaving their editor.

Frontend Tech Lead
WoAccelerator.
An exclusive marketplace for screenwriters and producers. Writers get their best work in front of world-class producers; producers discover ready-to-produce scripts. I led the frontend team and shipped the web experience and design system behind both sides of the marketplace.

About
The short version.
I like taking hard product problems and making them feel simple. I work across web, mobile, backend, cloud, and AI. From the first question to the final release, I stay close to the work and make sure every choice has a reason.
How I work with AI
A clear process, not blind trust.
AI helps me explore ideas and build faster. I still choose the direction, review the work, and take responsibility for the result.
- 01
Understand
Learn the product, read the code, and understand the users, limits, and things that could go wrong.
- 02
Question
Ask AI for different ways to solve the problem, including the good and bad sides of each one.
- 03
Cross-check
Compare the AI answer with the code, product needs, and what I know from experience.
- 04
Plan
Break the work into clear steps and decide how I will know when each step is done.
- 05
Direct
Give AI the right information, clear limits, and a clear task.
- 06
Verify
Review the work, run tests, check security and unusual cases, and fix anything that is wrong.
The goal is not to create more code. It is to build faster while keeping the work clear, correct, and safe.
