contact me ↓Founder turned AI engineer. I have taken products from nothing to 7 million users, and I build AI systems that companies trust with real money.
At Amazon I designed and led an AI platform that reads customer purchase orders and turns them into real orders. It cut customer onboarding from 10 weeks to under 1, grew from 2 customers to more than 25, and unblocked a $100M pipeline. I also built an agent that works the on-call queue around the clock and cut open tickets by about 80%.
Before Amazon I founded an app studio and built five apps from scratch to 7 million downloads, then published research on helping people with motor disabilities speak through gestures. I have started things from zero, and I have run them at scale.
