Currently building something new...
YC P26
- Accepted into YC's Spring 26 batch.
- CTO working on automating GTM. Latency isn't super important and you don't need to be correct every time. It's perfect for AI disruption.
- Reached $40k contracted MRR in two months.
Engineer at Cogna
- Built a framework for coding agents to mimic the full SDLC.
- Worked on discovering the right UX to get non technical users to tell you what they actually need rather than what they think they want.
Founding Engineer at Wordware (YC S24 - raised $30m) - flown out zero-notice to boost engineering capacity during the busy YC batch period. There I:
- Scaled app performance in 48 hours when usage spiked to 4 million daily users.
- Rebuilt a prompt-first programming language to break out of the http request lifecycle & migrate from Vercel -> Cloudflare reducing costs by 80%.
- Implemented Stripe payments subscription & usage billing to pass on costs for ~18 third-party LLM & data APIs.
In previous roles I tend to do the hard stuff:
- Built a system for hosting & spinning up arbitrary LLM models on demand for adversarial research.
- Created & took a product from 0 -> 1, reaching thousands of MAUs and $3k MRR.
- Performance-optimized an excel-like spreadsheet formula language.
- Managed a product team building out a public API & in-app scripting functionality.
- Much more...
