I build the systems that build the product.

From restaurants to late nights teaching myself to code. From entry-level developer to VP of Product at JPMorgan. From automating tedious tasks with Python to shrinking my work with LLMs. Now building AI-native applications for real problems. Not fully product, not fully engineering; an ambitious balance of both.

    Why the right abstraction for a solo builder is removing yourself from the handoff.
