Work with me
Technical founder · AI product builder · Forward deployed engineer
I help founders ship AI products, automations, and integrations in 2 to 6 weeks, from customer discovery to production. I’m not a generic “available dev”. I’ve built and sold an AI-native B2B SaaS from scratch, so I think in shipped product and signed customers, not in tickets.

Built end-to-end
Co-founded Clustor, an AI-native platform helping consulting firms and ESNs automate staffing workflows, competency files, candidate matching, and meeting follow-ups. Owned the full technical stack (Next.js, Node.js, Supabase, Azure, Microsoft 365, LLM orchestration) and the customer-facing surface: discovery, B2B demos, onboarding, support, and a strategic partnership with Boond.

Who I work with
- Early-stage startups (pre-seed to Series A) with an urgent product problem to solve.
- Founders who need someone who can talk to customers, design the solution, and code it.
- Teams looking for an AI-native operator who can go from idea to working product without handholding.
Why me
- 0-to-1 experience: co-founded Clustor, grew it to ~800 DAUs and ~$55k ARR in 12 months, signed a strategic partnership with Boond, lived 3 months in San Francisco to learn the US market.
- End-to-end: architecture, AI orchestration, full-stack engineering, demos, onboarding, support. I’ve done every layer of an early-stage startup.
- Production AI: I’ve shipped real LLM workflows (semantic search, tailored generation, transcription, summarization, CRM sync) in front of paying users.
- Speed: I optimize for shipping the right thing fast, not for perfect abstractions you’ll throw away in two months.
How I package missions
Instead of selling hours, I sell outcomes. Pick the pack that matches where you are.
AI Product Sprint
2 to 4 weeks
Turn an AI idea into a usable prototype. Discovery, scoping, build, ship to a small set of pilot users. You walk away with working software and the data to decide whether to double down.
Start this pack→Forward Deployed Engineer
4 to 6 weeks
I embed with your team or your customer, understand the real problem, code the solution, deploy it, and drive adoption. The work is finished when it’s being used, not when it’s been merged.
Start this pack→Startup Tech Operator
Ongoing
For early-stage founders who need a senior technical operator on demand: product decisions, architecture reviews, hands-on dev, integrations, onboarding flows, internal tools. I plug into whatever moves the needle this week.
Start this pack→AI Workflow / Agent Automation
2 to 4 weeks
Build a production-grade AI agent or workflow connected to your internal tools (CRM, docs, email, calendar, vertical SaaS). Focused on real ROI, not demos.
Start this pack→Tech I reach for
Next.js, Node.js, Python, Supabase, PostgreSQL, Vercel, Azure, Microsoft 365, LLM orchestration (Claude, OpenAI, structured outputs, tool use, RAG, agents). I pick boring, proven tools when nothing else is required.
How a mission usually starts
- A 30-minute call to understand the problem, the constraints, and who’s going to use the thing.
- A short written proposal: scope, deliverables, timeline, price. No surprises.
- We start. I ship something visible in the first week.
Have a concrete problem to solve?
Tell me what you’re trying to ship and by when. I’ll tell you within 48 hours whether I’m the right person for it.
