I'm an AI Business Solutions professional, technical product builder, and founder with 15+ years of experience turning complex business problems into practical, scalable solutions.
Today, I design and build AI-powered SaaS products and workflow automation systems using tools including Next.js, TypeScript, APIs, Supabase, Claude Code, GitHub, and Vercel. I use AI as an active development partner to move from problem discovery and product strategy through prototyping, testing, and deployment.
My background sits at the intersection of business operations, product strategy, AI adoption, and hands-on technical execution. Before moving full-time into technology and entrepreneurship, I led large-scale programs, managed cross-functional teams, and oversaw initiatives responsible for more than $60M in program revenue.
I'm especially interested in Generative AI, agentic workflows, AI-enabled product development, automation, and helping organizations turn emerging technology into tools people can actually use.
I build technology that solves real operational problems—whether that's helping families prepare for life's unexpected moments, helping small businesses run more effectively, or making complex systems easier for people to navigate.
