Own your software.
Cut the SaaS that owns you.

Your operation runs on a tangle of rented software you don't control — overlapping subscriptions, brittle integrations, and a vendor roadmap that isn't yours. I find the bottleneck, trace it back to that tangle, and replace it with one system you own and actually control. An operator who has run the P&L and writes the code, so the software fits how the business really works.

[01]Three disciplines, one operator

The operator who diagnoses the bottleneck, the engineer who builds the fix, the designer who makes it usable — one person, no handoffs.

8 Years

COO & Systems Architect

Eight years as COO owning operations, the P&L, and the entire technical stack of Swiss Link Military Surplus and its wholesale channel. I find the operational bottleneck, kill the tangle of disconnected SaaS feeding it, and replace it with one system the business actually owns — finance discipline applied to how a company runs end to end.

  • Single-handedly consolidated a fragmented Salesforce / Accounting Seed / Shopify stack into one unified, self-owned Odoo system — in three months, under live load
  • Cut operational complexity, SaaS dependency, and software cost by a literal order of magnitude
  • Replaced rented complexity with technical sovereignty: one source of truth the company controls, not four vendors it pays

Software Engineer

Ships production code with modern agentic workflows — Cursor, Perplexity Computer, Antigravity. Built a FastAPI + React platform governing a live Odoo ERP behind a fail-closed read-only safety layer, plus a full-stack Supabase + Typesense knowledge base.

[02]Proof, not promises

Everything here is independently verifiable.

I'm early in building a fractional practice, so I lead with evidence you can check yourself rather than a wall of logos. National TV, live production sites, and auditable code — confirm any of it before we ever talk.

This space is reserved for my first client

The first engagement gets founding-client pricing — and its words go right here. I'd rather earn the quote than write it myself.

Technical sovereignty

My mission is to give a business back control of its own stack — fewer rented SaaS seats, less technical debt, one source of truth it owns instead of a sprawl of vendors it merely pays each month.

Operator-built tooling

I don't write specs and hand them off. I find the bottleneck as an operator and ship the internal tool myself — with CI, versioning, tests, and a real design system — so a SaaS subscription becomes software you own.

AI amplifies judgment, not corners

Agentic workflows (Cursor, Antigravity) are an accelerant on top of architecture I own — not a substitute for it. Every line ships with the same governance, tests, and versioning I'd demand from any senior hire. AI makes the work faster; it doesn't make it sloppy.
