About Me
My superpower is researching new technology and figureing out how to apply it to build customer centric products. I thrive in the 0-1 phase, where I excel at rapidly prototyping, validating ideas, and implementing cutting-edge technologies before they become mainstream. With 13+ years of experience spanning small startups, venture captial labs, founding multiple companies, and building Amazon-scale systems for autonomous drones, I've mastered the art of building scalable MVPs that founders can actually ship, while staying ahead of the curve on emerging tech like AI, LLMs, and next-gen platforms. I don't just build products—I help founders navigate early-stage development with proven strategies and technical excellence, from crafting investor narratives to securing the capital needed to scale their vision into reality.
