Where I Create Leverage
I help ship, grow and stabilize: platform architecture (Django/Python), data & API integration, AI feature enablement (retrieval, orchestration, workflow agents), and targeted automation that reduces operational drag. Focus: shipping meaningful increments, strengthening reliability surfaces, and keeping systems adaptable - not fragile - under change.
Fractional / Co-Founder
Hands-on partner to ship and stabilize critical workstreams.
Embed 1-3 days a week to set direction, unblock engineering, and line up AI or data leverage without the full-time hire.
- Architecture, product sequencing, and stakeholder alignment
- AI integration strategy that fits existing systems
- Reliability, observability, and operational readiness uplift
6-12 Month Build
Milestone-driven build cycles with clean handoff.
Define, deliver, and transition a focused product, integration layer, or automation track without spinning up a permanent team.
- Architecture and delivery lanes set up for measurable progress
- Incremental releases with tight feedback loops
- Transition plans, documentation, and team enablement
Beyond the codebase
I’m usually asked to own the delivery lane and the growth surface around it.

Shipping product inside lean teams taught me to wire up experiments, messaging, and measurement so launches connect to the rest of the business.
Digital Garden Evolving knowledge space
This corner of the web is my digital garden - a format I fell for years ago - and I’ve been tending it since 2016. It’s not a static site; it’s the notebook I keep open while things are shipping. Sometimes I post fixes over lunch, sometimes from a phone automation while coffee brews, other times after a late-night debug run. Whatever works in the wild stays; the rest gets uprooted.
- Drafts land fast and get tightened as real work pushes on them.
- Patterns graduate only after shipping and holding up under production load.
- Older notes get composted into fresher playbooks rather than archived.
- Revision notes log why decisions shifted, not just what flipped.
