Products I've shaped, built & shipped
Shipper.now
Senior Full-Stack Engineer
Production AI app-builder: prompts become deployed full-stack apps. Owned product workflows and platform engineering together - how users build, preview, and publish, and the systems behind it. Cut LLM cost 67% per step, built multi-agent AI Employees with Slack + ElevenLabs connectors, ran a live Stripe migration, and owned builder reliability on cloud sandbox infrastructure.
OpenClaude
Sole Engineer
Open-source desktop app that lets Claude operate your computer - screenshots in, real mouse and keyboard actions out. Sole engineer: owned the product and safety model end-to-end for Windows and macOS - Electron shell, local agent harness, DPI-aware cross-platform automation, and a fail-closed approval model with human gates, cost caps, and kill switches.
Conqueror
Full-Stack Engineer
Agentic SEO platform: AI agents research keywords and rewrite site content. Shaped the product around a hard human-approval boundary - the agent proposes, humans publish. Built the WordPress plugin and one-click connect, per-post revision history, in-chat agent approval, and MCP tools consumed by Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor.
MindProbe.ai
Full-Stack Engineer
Joined as a full-stack engineer and grew into end-to-end product ownership: shaped research workflows, translated requirements into features, and owned decisions from idea through production. Multi-tenant SaaS for AI-driven market research and survey analytics. Built the full survey engine, advanced analytics dashboards (cross-tab, correlation, TURF, heatmaps), Stripe billing, RBAC, OAuth, and the marketing site with Strapi CMS.
Profica.ai
Founder
AI career engine. Paste a job posting, get a tailored resume, cover letter, and pitch in under 2 minutes. Multi-step NLP pipeline with job parsing, profile matching, and multi-platform output generation.
About
Product-minded senior full-stack AI engineer building production SaaS, agentic applications, and secure payment systems for teams worldwide. I figure out how the product should work, then I build and ship it.
Senior engineer on Shipper.now's AI app builder, where I owned product workflows, agent reliability, LLM cost engineering, and payments. At MindProbe.ai I grew from full-stack into owning the product end-to-end - requirements, workflows, architecture, and production. Shipped agentic SEO on Conqueror and solo-built OpenClaude. Founded Profica.ai.
Strongest where product and engineering meet.
