I build AI products
that actually ship_
Anyone can wire up an LLM demo — I ship them to production: a commercial job-search platform with real users, an IAM layer that scopes exactly what AI agents can touch, and a system of record for the code no human on your team still understands.
Ten years of web and product work, most of it frontend. Startups and large orgs; e-commerce and Web3 through to AI products and developer tools. I care more about solving the right problem than about being tied to a particular stack.
I build with AI extensively, but what interests me is what happens after the code is generated — architecture, maintainability, performance, whether the software actually makes sense. The gap between code that works and software that is well engineered.
I like building things. I like understanding how they work. And I like making them better.
ai job-search platform
Fit evaluation, resume optimization and cover letters, end to end. LLM fit-scoring, credit-based Stripe monetization, 50+ API routes on Next.js 15 + Supabase RLS.
comprehension-debt system of record
See how much of your codebase no human understands. A treemap colored by comprehension score — deterministic, explainable, decomposable into factors.
firewall for ai agents
Scoped, revocable, observable permissions instead of your full GitHub token. Deny-by-default policy engine, 23 ordered gates, MIT licensed.
