I build technical systems and the teams that run them. Today that means AI products at AgentifyMe and helping founders go from idea to MVP to traction through Startup Teams.

What I do

Clear priorities, strong systems, teams that work

01

Fractional CTO / COO

Technical direction and operational clarity for founders who want execution without chaos.

  • Product strategy, roadmap, architecture
  • Decisions, risk surfacing, alignment
  • Delivery cadence: sprints, demos, outcomes
02

Team building

Build, screen, onboard and train teams, designed so I can work myself out of a job.

  • Role definition and hiring funnels
  • Technical screens and onboarding
  • Documentation and repeatable playbooks
03

Systems engineering

Years of aerospace systems work across communications, navigation and cross-domain integration.

  • Requirements gathering and decomposition
  • Verification and test strategy
  • Hardware ↔ firmware ↔ software

Best fit: pre-seed and seed founders, new products, rebuilds and rescue missions, and teams that need structure and momentum.

Experience

About

How I lead

#LLD

Loving God · Loving People · Doing Hard Things

Leadership is a whole-hearted devotion to empowering the people around you. It isn’t about position; it’s about blessing people through daily decisions.

StrengthsFinder: Activator · Strategic · Learner · Achiever · Input

“You cannot do in a day what is done in a lifetime, but you can make a lifetime legacy by what you do every day. Don’t waste your life preparing for what it could have been. Take action and seize the day; seize today.”

Jordan D. Ulmer

Building something? Let’s talk.

If you want a technical leader who executes, I’d like to hear about it.
