Building AI application systems end to end.

I build across web, iOS, backend infrastructure, analytics, and agent workflows. My current work centers on OpenCMO and CurbAlarm: practical AI systems that move from product idea to architecture, code, deployment, data, analytics, and iteration.

About

Full-stack ownership for AI-native products.

I am a founder and full-stack software engineer building application-layer AI products across web, iOS, backend infrastructure, analytics, and agentic automation. I am comfortable taking a messy product idea and turning it into a working system: architecture, code, deployment, data, analytics, and iteration.

I am especially useful on teams that need practical AI product features, internal automation, human-in-the-loop workflows, app infrastructure, backend systems, and rapid prototypes tied to real market feedback.
