Summary
Product leader who designs, architects, and ships software products using AI coding agents as the engineering team. Manages full product development end-to-end (concept, spec, architecture, build, and ship) with Claude Code and Codex. Currently building the open infrastructure layer between agent connectivity and collective cognition: the governance, coordination, and shared memory that makes human-AI teams trustworthy, not just functional.
- Building agentic developer workflow tools: MCP servers, Claude Code skills, plugin marketplaces, and collaboration safety engines
- Led engineering to build a vertically integrated product line from concept through hardware, cloud platform, and customer-facing UI
- Grew a networking product line's revenue 4x through product strategy and technical sales
