About

I build AI systems that do the work of departments and I've proven it by running technology for multiple companies at once. Over 15 years, I've gone from mobile engineer to solution architect to three-time Co-Founder/CTO. Today I lead technology and AI innovation at CustomerIK (Braze partner ecosystem) while serving as Co-Founder & CTO of Apparently Digital. Small teams, enterprise-grade output because agentic AI is the core of how I build. What I do for companies transitioning to AI: → Assess where AI genuinely creates leverage (and where it's theater) → Architect and deploy AI agents, agent pools, and agentic workflows into existing systems → Transform existing technology teams into AI-enabled teams, hands-on training, tooling and workflow redesign that boosts productivity up to 5× → Build startup products at a fraction of typical development cost but with better scalability, performance, security, and a future-proof architecture → Make it pass the CISO test: 10+ years in cybersecurity means I build AI that's secure, auditable and governable from day one What I've shipped (production, not prototypes): → Braze Buddy : A domain-expert AI agent embedded in an enterprise marketing platform, answering teams' platform questions instantly instead of tickets and docs → Marly & DAita : Conversational analytics agents that let CMOs query customer data in plain English, with full query transparency (no analysts, no SQL) → Adlogix : Ad-spend & revenue intelligence for media buyers: unified tracking of spend and revenue across multiple feed providers, so buyers scale winning campaigns on real numbers → Data Weaver & DeDupe : AI-assisted data integration that replaces weeks of engineering effort between Salesforce, Braze and warehouse layers and identity resolution without data engineers → Anticipate (WIP) : Prediction Engine based on Swarm intelligence by spawning millions of real life-like personas The companies winning with AI aren't the ones with the biggest models. They're the ones that re-architected how work flows. That's the transition I lead. Open to CTO / Head of AI roles with startups building AI-native products or embedding AI workflows. Let's talk, DM me here.
