Work

Founder-minded engineer with a rare path from infrastructure and ISO 27001 consulting into product management and full-stack/mobile development.

I've built technically ambitious products from the ground up — including a full email system and an AI health coach — and led teams through zero-to-one cycles.

I thrive on solving hard problems, turning vague ideas into working software, and shipping quickly with modern tools.

From infrastructure consulting to building products that scale to thousands of users.

I'm actively building in the open source community.

Running a community of 600+ Commercial Open Source founders and engineers, sharing technical breakdowns and OSS snippets.

Recent projects include UnInbox (open-source email platform) and Potential Health (AI health coach with Expo and tRPC).

Tech stack: React, Next.js, Tailwind, Expo, Hono.js, tRPC, AI SDK, PlanetScale/MySQL, Drizzle ORM.
