Two decades an architect.
Now I ship real products with AI agents.

24 years, developer → enterprise architect → CTO. Lately I've shipped live production systems — LLM routing, ML models, WhatsApp, Android, AWS infra — by directing AI coding agents. The judgment is mine; the typing is the agent's.

// I get bored by repetitive work, so I taught the machines to do it. Working as intended.

A slow, organic arc.

My career has been a steady arc of evolution — in the systems I build, the responsibilities I carry, and the person I'm becoming. Somewhere along the way I found that the work I love most sits at the intersection of architecture and guidance — shaping systems with intention, and helping people see their own paths with clarity.

A year-long pause made that clearer. I slowed down, reconnected with family and myself, and went deep on AI — and came back wanting to build something of my own. That led to founding, where architecture, leadership, curiosity and clarity finally meet in one place.
