The
journey.
I build AI systems that power real business decisions. Here's the path that got me here.
Where I've been.
33Floors — Team Lead
Five years leading a small engineering team, shipping customer-facing enterprise software end-to-end. React, Next.js, TypeScript, .NET. Built ETL pipelines processing hundreds of gigabytes in under 30 minutes. Learned to work with ambiguity and translate business needs into real features.
Full-Time Vanlife
Two years on the road, working remotely across the West. Flagstaff, Santa Barbara, and Estes Park became my regular haunts.
AI Endurance — Co-Founder
Co-founded and rebuilt an endurance training platform from the ground up. Modernized legacy systems with React/Next.js, shipped PWAs scoring 100/100 Lighthouse, and delivered a 2× increase in signups and conversions.
PathQuest — Founding Developer
Built the first AI-powered platform for the outdoors — nothing else like it exists. Agentic o4-mini system with a dozen tools, Claude Haiku for conditions and gear, a unified data layer across 12+ sources with automated ingesters, broad-scale OSM enrichment, and OAuth with Strava/Google/Garmin.
Santa Barbara, CA
Current home base. Building enterprise AI systems while enjoying ocean trails and mountain runs.
Standard Communities — AI Engineer
Building AI-powered workflows and data tools for affordable housing. Custom agents and MCP servers that unify data from HUD and other sources, enhance it with LLMs and geocoding, confidence-score across subjective data, and power multi-million dollar deal-making decisions.
