My career has always been about one thing: building. At YouTube, I started as a creative strategist but ended up designing and building internal tools with product teams — including a searchable talent discovery database used across the company.
From there I moved into product management at startups, where I led the development of Series of the Week, a curated streaming experience I conceived and built end-to-end with a team of designers and engineers.
What I always wanted — and what I couldn't quite do until recently — was to dream up and deploy my own products without depending on a full team. AI changed that.
Over the past two years I've immersed myself in product engineering: using AI-assisted development to take ideas from whiteboard to working software, fast. I work with startups, enterprises, and individual founders who need something built — bringing product instincts, design sensibility, and full-stack execution all in one person.
Three principles
Full-stack product building
From the first conversation to a live URL — product strategy, UX, design, development, and deployment. No handoffs, no coordination overhead; just a working product.
AI-powered tools & automation
Intelligent tools that eliminate repetitive work — automating workflows, integrating APIs, and turning manual processes into systems that run themselves.
Speed without shortcuts
AI as a force multiplier, not a crutch — faster delivery with the same attention to product thinking, UX, and reliability you'd expect from a senior team.
