// Profile

Engineer by craft. Product owner by instinct.

I sit where business, product and engineering meet. I turn client needs into roadmaps, architect the system, lead the team that builds it, and stay accountable for what happens after launch: uptime, adoption and growth.

Deep full-stack and infrastructure skills, plus hands-on AI work (LLM integration, agents, MCP, RAG and workflow automation), mean every product I own is built to be AI-ready from day one.

  • Product OwnerVision, roadmap, backlog, outcomes
  • Software ArchitectScalable, secure, multi-tenant systems
  • Team Lead & PMAgile delivery, mentoring, estimation
  • AI SystemsLLMs, agents, MCP, RAG, automation
  • R&D & DataAnalysis, dashboards, insight
  • DevOpsLinux, Docker, CI/CD, monitoring

Every product speaks AI

I build AI into the product's core, not as an add-on. Pick a domain to see the kind of question its built-in assistant can answer.
