Business leader. Product builder. Technical operator.

I combine 20+ years of customer, revenue, and leadership experience with hands-on product development: turning business problems into working AI products, APIs, and software.

Business experience meets product execution.

My career has been built around understanding complex business problems: working with customers, leading teams, growing revenue, and translating business needs into action. Over the last several years I started turning that experience directly into products: AI platforms, developer APIs, sales technology, workflow systems, and customer-facing applications.

Customer

Deep enterprise customer and executive experience.

Product

From discovery and requirements through production and iteration.

AI + Technology

Hands-on AI-enabled enterprise workflows and product infrastructure.

GTM

Pricing, positioning, discovery, partnerships, sales, and market validation.

Featured builds

From business problem to working product

01Learning

MessyDev

Learn what AI is doing while you build with it. AI writes the code, sets up the database, deploys the app. MessyDev is the missing learning layer that explains it, tests it, and fixes it.

Where I create the most value

1

Discover

Start with the business problem rather than the technology.

2

Translate

Turn customer and business complexity into clear product requirements.

3

Build

Move rapidly from hypothesis to working product with modern AI workflows.

4

Validate

Put it in front of the market, measure, and iterate on evidence.

Let's build something valuable.

I'm interested in opportunities where AI, enterprise problems, product strategy, and customer outcomes intersect: AI Product, API / platform product management, and enterprise AI roles.
