People I've
built and learned with
Some are clients and founders I shipped with. Others are mentees who let me sit in the seat opposite them for a while.
"I called him at 2am once when our launch was on fire. He triaged on a call and had a fix on staging by morning. The kind of person you fight a war with."
"He'll make you uncomfortable for three weeks, then he becomes the person you call before bed. I'm a better engineering manager because of him."
"Fauzul saw something in my craft before I did. He pushed me to start the bakery and to charge what I'm worth. That mattered."
"Calm, direct, and a real builder. Replaced our entire architecture in 11 weeks without missing a release. We never went back."
"I came for AWS advice, left with a life plan. He treats coaching like he treats code — small useful loops, real outputs."
"Took us into the GDPR-heavy EU market without breaking stride. Quietly competent in five languages and four jurisdictions."
"What I keep stealing from him: write the spec in the language of the customer. Half my arguments at work end faster now."

Build
something together?
I build AI-first products across healthtech, foodtech, fintech, adtech, and nationwide-scale problems. Bring me the ones nobody else can crack.
I lead teams end-to-end — product, design, engineering, devops, client. The work leaves behind confidence in the people and reliability in the business.
