I help founders turn complex product, AI and data challenges into working systems — from the first architecture decision to production.

How to work with me Six ways to work together, from a technical question to leading the build Technical partner: only 1 slot
Understand
A technical decision needs a second opinion Architecture consultation
What happens We work through your system, constraints and options: architecture, stack, integrations, scaling or an AI feature.
What you bring One decision, a short description of the system and any diagrams or metrics you already have.
What you get A clear recommendation, the tradeoffs behind it and the next steps to verify it.
The product works, but delivery is getting harder Technical review & modernization
What happens I review the architecture and critical flows with your team, then trace the delivery, reliability, security and cost risks.
What you bring Access to the relevant code and documentation, incident history and the team’s view of the bottlenecks.
What you get Prioritized findings and a practical roadmap: what to fix, what to keep and how to check the result.
Build
AI needs to fit a real workflow AI products & workflow automation
What happens We choose one workflow and design its data access, model behavior, integrations and human review. Then build and test the agreed scope.
What you bring A real task, examples of inputs and outputs, and the people who will use the result.
What you get A working increment with acceptance criteria, explicit limits and visibility into quality and operating cost.
Data needs to become a reliable platform Data architecture & governance
What happens I connect ingestion, streaming, DWH or lakehouse, analytics and access rules into one architecture that teams can implement.
What you bring Your sources, analytical use cases, current infrastructure and security constraints.
What you get Architecture decisions, data contracts, ownership boundaries and a delivery roadmap with acceptance criteria.
Lead
You need a technical partner for the build Fractional CTO & engineering leadership Only 1 slot
Only 1 slot available.
What happens I work alongside the founder and team on technical priorities, architecture, hiring, engineering standards and delivery decisions.
What you bring The business goal, the team setup and an honest picture of what is slowing you down.
What you get Clear technical ownership, an agreed delivery plan and regular review of real progress and risks.
You want to test a product before a bigger bet Product engineering with Proof Engine
What happens With Proof Engine, we connect the product question, a focused build and market feedback in one loop.
What you bring The user problem, your riskiest assumption and the evidence you already have.
What you get The smallest credible product or experiment, measured results and a decision on what to do next.
Who am I
I’m a CTO, data architect and hands-on builder with more than 20 years of experience. I’ve led teams of 50+ across engineering, product, analytics, QA and DevOps, and worked on real-time data platforms, IoT and software products. Today, I’m a co-founder of Proof Engine and build Sales Blackbox. I use AI agents to move from a precise specification to working software, and stay responsible for architecture, review and acceptance.
Experience in numbers
