02 · About
I build technology companies.
I started as a software engineer, built a development company, and spent years taking founders' ideas from early concepts to production products.
Over time, my role moved beyond engineering. Today I work across product strategy, architecture, development, team building, launch and go-to-market — often as an equity partner rather than simply a contractor.
My focus is AI-first startups where I can participate from the earliest stage and help turn an idea into an operating company. Punk Development Studio, the product and engineering studio I co-founded, is the execution engine behind that work.
Before moving into venture building, I became a Top Rated Plus AI Web Developer on Upwork, specializing in full-stack SaaS MVPs powered by AI, Laravel, and Nuxt. I spent a decade learning how to build products. Now I use that capability to build companies.
