I don't just plan AI products.I ship them.

Eight years driving product at Walmart, eBay, and One Legal, working as an IC, a people manager, and a founder. I still write the roadmap, and the code that ships it.

Why work with me

One person. The whole build.

Ships Solo, End to End

Reqall and SpeakEasyPrep are live with real billing. Selves shipped solo in four days. I own product, design, and code, from idea to a live URL.

Enterprise Scale, Startup Speed

Shipped features inside a $1B+ GMV platform at Walmart, and personalization modules reaching 66M+ users at eBay. Now moving at the speed of a one-person team.

AI-Native Builder

I don't just write AI PRDs. I build the agents, the eval frameworks, and the pipelines myself.

Full-Stack Product Thinking

Strategy, UX, and execution in one head. No handoffs, no translation loss.

The person behind the build.

Eight years in product, one stubborn belief: the fastest way to know if an idea works is to build it yourself. Most nights you'll find me in a terminal, not a deck, wiring the agents and shipping the thing myself.

San Francisco Bay Area. Always building something.
