I build and scale products from 0→1 to 10→X across consumer and platform domains. My teams have shipped 20+ products used by up to 30M monthly users, driven 10× revenue growth, and contributed to six acquisitions totaling $100M+.
This is an AI trained on my background, speaking in my voice. Ask it about my work, how I operate, what I'm building, or whether I'd be a fit for what you're working on.
I build products for a living — some have worked, some haven't, and the ones that didn't taught me the most. I'm relentlessly curious but allergic to wasted motion: I test manually before I engineer anything, and I won't spend energy on work that can't make a real, systemic dent. The proof: a consumer app scaled to 30M users, a POS platform rolled to 35,000 restaurants, civic systems built from zero to citywide — and I still prototype most of it myself.
Working closely with portfolio founders on growth, product, and operational execution — the connective tissue between strategy and shipped outcomes.
Platform-level technical product execution for MyCity, NYC's digital-government initiative — coordinating multi-team delivery, dependency management, and architectural alignment for secure, scalable, multi-agency shared services. Streamlined intake and prioritization to cut time-to-decision and ship more each quarter.
Pressure-tested early-stage concepts for a venture group — turning raw ideas into validated, buildable product theses through fast research, prototyping, and customer signal.
Rebuilt mobile product strategy: 10× revenue and +24% 90-day retention in 12 months, with 15+ features across four squads. Launched a video surface to 200K daily views, lifted session duration +23% through personalization, and grew marketing CTR +40%. Built a custom agile workflow — squad velocity +45% across iOS, Android, wearables, TV, and automotive.
Embedded across restaurant tech, payments, fintech, and connectivity for multiple clients: a global POS launch with RBI to 35,000 QSRs (order speed +25%, vendor onboarding −50%), in-product payments (+40% company revenue), a marketplace that drove a $23M acquisition, ACH/payroll work, and Royal Caribbean's captive-portal onboarding (+20% purchases).
Built a modern immigration-law case-management platform (−30% manual work, +25% retention, −20% acquisition cost), the TreasuryPay currency/payments platform, an insurance SaaS product, and ops/reporting systems for SMB clients (−40% to −70% operational cost).
0→1 across a venture portfolio — launched GetMyBoat (boat rentals), BlessEveryHome, CattleTrack, LeaguePals, and more, incubating 9 startups. Several exited, including GetMyBoat ($21M).
Ran a custom web-development and hosting company end-to-end: 400+ clients, $360K annual revenue, and brand/strategy projects for Fortune 500 clients including Staples, Loblaw, Sysco, and Great-West Life.
From today's builds back through a decade of zero-to-one — ventures I incubated, platforms I led, and client products I shipped across consumer, fintech, gov, and enterprise.
Five years ago, shipping meant a team of people grinding through discovery, pitch, build, release. In 2026 I ship at team velocity by orchestrating agents — I hold the taste, the judgment, and the why; a team of specialists does the rest, and reviews each other.
I run Claude Code as a virtual product team — direct the work, let specialized agents execute and check each other before anything reaches a user.
The role I don't delegate: deciding what's worth building and whether what shipped is actually good. The agents are the team. I'm still the product.
Founder coaching from idea to revenue — a repeatable 6-week discovery → MVP → in-market operating system for early teams, with the instrumentation and review cadences to back it.
Early-stage foundersA running stream of AI experiments — MCP servers, agents, and prototypes built in the terminal. The R&D lab for everything else.

“Walks on water.”
“Great at bringing people together and solving the hard problems.”
If you're working at the intersection of product, AI, and shipping real things — I want to hear about it.
