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.
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. No surprises.
- We start. I ship something visible in the first week.
