Current Focus
2 Active ProjectsFrom running my own business to engineering software—building integrations by day, AI products by night.
After running my own business for 10 years, I transitioned to software engineering. Now I work at ConnexAI building integrations for enterprise platforms, while exploring AI through side projects.
I've deployed two SaaS applications using OpenAI and Google Gemini—both live in production. I work primarily with React, TypeScript, and Node.js, but I'm more interested in solving problems than any specific tech stack.
