I help founders ship the product they keep getting stuck on. Fourteen years building at Intuit, SimilarWeb, my own AI startup, and the startup I’m founding now. A decade teaching it.
The practice
Over fourteen years, I’ve built products across government, startups, and global technology companies, including Voyager Labs, Soluna Labs, Essence Intelligence, Investing.com, Similarweb, and Intuit. My work spans cybersecurity, AI/ML, fintech, SaaS, and consumer platforms used by millions. For a decade, I’ve also taught founders, students, and product teams in classrooms, accelerators, and conferences. I teach what I practice: how to make hard product decisions, turn uncertainty into a plan, and ship.
