## About

I’m co\-founder and CTO at Nagent\.ai, where I focus on shipping real AI products and building the systems and teams behind them\.I’m hands\-on with execution—defining technical direction, building core infrastructure, and turning early ideas into production\-ready systems\. I spend a lot of time making tradeoffs, unblocking teams, and ensuring we move fast without creating long\-term problems\. From MVPs to scalable platforms, my goal is to build things that work reliably in the real world\.As a founder, I care about strong ownership and clear accountability\. I believe good execution comes from simple designs, tight feedback loops, and teams that understand why they’re building something—not just what they’re building\.At Nagent\.ai, I lead engineering across architecture, delivery, and hiring, working closely with product and leadership to keep us focused on what matters most\. We prioritize practical AI, solid engineering fundamentals, and consistent progress over hype\.Always open to connecting with founders, operators, and engineers who care about execution, system design, and building durable products\.
