Tech Stack
About Me
I'm a software engineer and product builder. I like the kind of work where you're talking to users in the morning and pushing code in the afternoon.
Currently a Technical Product Manager at Tempo Labs (YC23), where I manage $700K+ in ARR, build internal tooling used daily across the company, and deploy multi-agent orchestration systems with Claude-powered sub-agents. Before Tempo, I shipped AI-powered features at Flowmatic, built analytics tools at Zynga for games like Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells and Words With Friends 2, and plugged AI micro-services into CRMs at Repwave.
The drive to build things well started early, working alongside my father in concrete construction. Those experiences taught me the value of craftsmanship and seeing a project through from concept to completion. I bring that same mindset to software, whether it's agentic systems, data pipelines, or full-stack products from scratch.
