Open to new roles
AI Product Engineer
I'm a product engineer specializing in front-end development and UI/UX design. I care about how a product looks, how it works, and whether it makes sense to the people using it. I work across the stack, from early product decisions through launch, with experience in investment platforms, payments, and applied AI.
My background spans design, engineering, product development, and marketing. I started by building and commercializing real-estate search platforms, then worked on payment software at Sticky.io before co-founding eCIO, an investment advisory platform for nonprofits.
At eCIO, I built the marketing program and gradually took on more product and engineering work, eventually becoming VP of Product & Engineering at eVestech. That progression gave me experience with both sides of a product: understanding what customers need and building the software to support them.
Today I work AI-native. My process runs from research and specification through test-driven development, agent-driven implementation, automated review, and smoke testing, with human validation of architectural decisions at the end. Agents write most of the implementation code. I stay responsible for what reaches production.
I'm especially effective on small teams where I can work closely with people across the business and take a product from an early idea through delivery. I value that close collaboration and breadth of responsibility in a company of any size.

I built Alfred to help advisors respond to requests for proposals. It draws on uploaded source material and relevant content from earlier RFPs to produce a grounded, personalized first draft in under an hour, replacing a manual process that took roughly half a day.
eCIO / eVestechWatching advisors work, I found a bottleneck in how they handled messages spread across client accounts. I built a centralized inbox with follow-up management and delivery analytics, and the cross-account approach behind it helped push the firm toward centralized CRM workflows.
eCIO / eVestechI built a self-service sub-accounting platform alongside investment advisors, turning complex unitized-accounting rules into one-click monthly reconciliation, spendable-balance tracking, and automated donor reporting. It became a major sales differentiator with nonprofits that need fund accounting.
eCIO / eVestechSchwab's custodial data was poorly documented, so I used AI agents to work out its structure, reconciling raw BigQuery records against 200+ account statements and six months of historical results. That produced statement-value calculations reliable enough to build sub-accounting and reporting on.
eCIO / eVestechI took hands-on ownership of product engineering and operations for a platform that was sliding. I fixed the high-impact bugs, improved DevOps and monitoring, and established a dependable biweekly release cadence the team could plan around.
eCIO / eVestechI built the workflow used to deliver most eVestech production features. It runs from research and specification through TDD, agent-driven implementation in Claude Code, automated review, and smoke testing, with human validation of architectural decisions. Agents write most of the implementation code and I stay responsible for what ships.
eCIO / eVestechAs the primary front-end and UX specialist on a 10-developer team, I introduced React into a legacy PHP application incrementally, so modern interfaces ran alongside existing server-rendered code without a full rewrite. I also brought front-end testing into a financially sensitive production environment.
Sticky.ioI built and commercialized real-estate search platforms on RETS/IDX data, adding user accounts, saved properties, and saved searches. I grew the product to five brokerage clients using transaction-based and recurring-revenue models.
