About

I build AI products, backend systems, and automated workflows.

I design and ship products at the intersection of AI and software engineering — backend-heavy platforms, workflow automation, trading infrastructure, and AI-driven product systems. I care about building useful things with speed, clarity, and strong technical foundations.

How I think

I prefer simple systems over clever ones.

  • Speed of execution
  • Clean architecture
  • Product leverage
  • First-principles thinking
  • Practical AI
  • User pain that is real and expensive
