Why Work With Me?
I am not just a developer; I am a founder who understands that code must serve a business purpose. My work has been recognized by industry leaders:
- Y Combinator Alumni: 2x Founder (W19, W20).
- Proven Track Record: Serial entrepreneur with two successful exits.
- Thought Leader: Featured on the Google DeepMind podcast and Stripe Developers; TEDx Speaker.
How I Can Help You
Most AI projects fail to leave the “demo” phase. I specialize in taking AI initiatives from Proof-of-Concept to Production.
I offer consulting and engineering services for startups and enterprises in three key areas:
1. AI Product Strategy & Feasibility
Stop wasting time on hype. I help you identify high-ROI use cases for Large Language Models (LLMs) and domain-specific AI applications within your industry. We will validate technical feasibility before writing a single line of code.
2. End-to-End AI Engineering
I build the messy, complex infrastructure required to make AI work reliably.
- LLM Fine-tuning: Customizing models on your proprietary data.
- Data Pipelines: Architecting robust pipelines for search and recommendation systems.
- Production Deployment: ensuring your system is scalable, cost-efficient, and secure.
3. Technical Advisory for Founders
As a former founder, I act as a fractional CTO or technical partner. I help you navigate the “build vs. buy” decisions, hire the right talent, and set up engineering cultures that ship fast.
My Journey & Philosophy
Currently, I serve as the Founder & CEO of xAGI Labs, an AI product studio where we build applications that solve real business problems.
For the past three years, my focus has been singular: building AI systems that actually deliver value. I don’t believe in technology for technology’s sake. Whether I am vibe coding a prototype or architecting a search system, my goal is always to move the needle on revenue and user value.
Ready to build?
I take on a limited number of consulting and contract engagements per quarter. If you are ready to move your AI project from concept to reality, let’s talk.
