About

I'm a Special Research Engineer. I live at the front edge of what's new, and I get paid for the part nobody posts about: turning it into production software that holds up.

I build end-to-end, from first prototype to production, and help companies go from AI curiosity to AI running in their business. As founder and consultant at Konvert7, I bring the latest tech to teams and engineer with AI agents surgically: reliable where it counts, and nowhere it doesn't.

What I bring

Ship products end-to-end

From first prototype to production software a company can run its business on.

AI curiosity to AI in production

I help companies adopt AI as something that ships and keeps running, not a demo trick.

Engineer with AI agents, surgically

Reliable where it counts, and nowhere the hype says it should be.

Quality that moves the business

I care about the whole thing: code, UX, and whether it moved the business, not just the repo.
