Disciplines

The work,
end to end

Engineering

Systems built to hold under pressure.

Shipping real software since 2020 — web applications, mobile apps, APIs, and infrastructure. I care about the code that runs at 2am as much as the demo that ran in staging.

Product

From problem to something people use.

Engineering without product thinking is expensive code. I lead product cycles end-to-end — from problem discovery through architecture, build, launch, and iteration.

Ventures

Building companies, not side projects.

App Guts and EventsKona are real companies with real customers and real accountability. I know what it costs to build something and keep it running.

Advisory

Strategic thinking for founders and teams.

I work with businesses making significant technology bets, speak on engineering and entrepreneurship, and advise founders on the decisions that actually matter.

What building App Guts actually taught me

On being an engineer and an artist without apology

The hardest part of building a team isn't hiring
