Work with me
I build and run 10 real products.
I can build yours.
I'm a fractional CTO and software builder with 20+ years in tech (Apple, Yahoo, 8×8, a frontier AI lab). The portfolio below isn't a slide deck — it's live software I've designed, shipped, and operate every day. That's the proof of what you get when you work with me.
How I can help
Four ways teams bring me in.
Software product development
From idea to live product — or from stalled MVP to shipping. I've built and launched 10+ real products. I can build yours.
Fractional CTO
Senior technical leadership without a full-time hire — strategy, architecture, hiring, and rolling up my sleeves when it counts.
DevEx & Platform advisory
Make your engineers faster and happier: internal platforms, CI/CD, golden paths, and the DORA/SPACE metrics to prove it's working.
See my DevEx work →AI & automation
Ship real AI features and automate the busywork — from clean API design to production-grade LLM workflows.
The portfolio is the proof
Every product below is live software I designed, shipped, and run. Not prototypes. Not client work I can't show you. Real products, real users.
FeedbackThing
In-app feedback widget that pins reports to the exact element on the page — contextual signal, not vague complaints.
ReviewThing
Collect, manage, and showcase customer reviews and testimonials. The sibling to FeedbackThing — feedback closes the loop, ReviewThing turns it into proof.
Pickle
Personal CRM with 2,500+ integrations. Your contacts and context stay in sync everywhere, automatically.
hereby
Time tracking for on-site service businesses — GPS, signatures, timesheets, expenses. Every feature included; no upsell paywall.
AcornStudy
Study games for kids with ADHD that actually boost test scores — and that kids genuinely want to play.
JobTracker
Job search management that keeps your pipeline visible and your follow-ups on time.
Plus Mailforge, Webhook Inbox, Lead Finder, KidQuest, Teen Tech Camp, and more. See the full list →

How it works
Intro call
A quick, no-pressure call to understand your goals, team, and where things hurt.
A focused plan
I scope an engagement to outcomes — advisory, hands-on, or a mix — with clear priorities.
We execute
We ship. You get momentum, and your team levels up along the way.
Let's build something great
Tell me what you're working on and where it hurts. If I can help, I'll tell you how — and if I can't, I'll point you to someone who can.
