Finds the problem. Writes the code. Ships the launch.

Twenty years in security and compliance, from Unix admin to consultant to Principal PM. I talk to the customer, prototype the answer myself, land the production PRs with the team, then cut the launch video. A recruiter’s shortcut: everything below links to something real.

The arc

Each role was a step closer to the whole product.

Operations taught me what breaks. Consulting taught me to listen. Product taught me to decide. Building with agents put all three back in my own hands.

How I work

Three habits, every product.

01

Talk to the user before the spec.

Discovery calls and real-user validation first. Consulting taught me to find what's actually wrong and earn trust while doing it.

02

Prototype it, then write the PR.

I build the first version myself with Claude Code and Cursor, then land production pull requests alongside the engineering team.

03

Own the launch, not just the feature.

Docs, positioning and the launch video are part of shipping. I produce ours in Remotion with ElevenLabs voice.

Personal products I built solo, and DataBee products I own end to end. Each card links to the live thing or its public documentation.

Tearoff

Hail hit. Nobody's roofed it yet. Here's the list. A bot-first data product for roofing sales teams: hail swaths laid over the cities' own permit records, served to any AI through an MCP door. Designed, built, deployed and operated solo, with a multi-agent landing pipeline doing the engineering legwork.
