I've spent my career building software products and leading teams. Built Structure.Gantt from scratch and led engineering teams at ALM Works. Founded and sold Ace Trace — a mobile app with 6K paying subscribers. Led AI agent development at Winrate.com. Co-founded Enabled Health Inc, building AI physical therapy for hospitals.
Now I work independently — helping companies ship production agentic AI apps and re-imagine their product vision.
This is where I document the journey—the wins, the lessons, and everything in between.
