About

I help teams move faster with AI — not by bolting agents onto existing workflows, but by architecting how software gets built around them. I'm a full-stack engineer with 6+ years building distributed systems across TypeScript, React, Cloudflare Workers, and Durable Objects. My current project is Ship (getship.dev) — declarative project management infrastructure for AI agents, built solo in Rust and TypeScript. It's the tool I use on every engagement. What that means for you: I bring a production-grade methodology for AI-augmented development. Agents scoped to your codebase, context that persists across sessions, architectural decisions that don't evaporate between sprints. I work best on: AI transformation — integrating agents into existing products and workflows Full-stack architecture with a strong product and UX sensibility Greenfield builds where technical leadership matters from day one If you're serious about building with AI, not just experimenting with it — let's talk.
