Eight-plus years building production software — now focused on automating business processes, cutting operational costs, and shipping AI-driven systems that replace manual work.

// about

I automate businesses that
still run on spreadsheets.

Eight years of shipping production software taught me where the real waste lives: manual approvals, copy-paste workflows, tribal knowledge locked in someone's head. Now I build the AI agents, pipelines, and self-service platforms that make those problems disappear — and cut costs along the way.

From orchestrating micro-frontend platforms at Keller Williams to overhauling e-commerce at Riqra, I've always been the person who looks at a slow process and asks "why isn't this automated yet?"

Automate everything

If a human is doing it twice, it should be a pipeline. I replace manual processes with AI agents, workflows, and self-service tools.

Cut costs, not corners

Right-sized infrastructure, smarter queries, fewer vendors. I find the line items bleeding money and engineer them out.

Remove the bottleneck

Slow approvals, tribal knowledge, manual hand-offs — I identify what's blocking velocity and build the system that eliminates it.
