♟️ Chess: strategy, patience, and the art of thinking ten steps ahead.
The game is about shaping positions that endure. In code, I aim for architectures that stay flexible long after the first release.

My Journey
I've built in public, freelanced in the trenches, and shipped for global brands. Here's the short story: the work, the impact, and the lessons.
- Air University
My First Startup
Co-founded Gridge, a bold attempt to bring basketball viewers real-time play-by-play video highlights.
Licensing and funding walls forced us to stop, but I walked away with my first real lessons in risk, rejection, and resilience.
- TeReSol, 1 year
Where is My Car?
Worked on server-side data collection of a Vehicle Tracking System.
- Freelance, 3 years
Some Projects, Some Products
Shipped dozens of projects and products. Many didn't survive, but the lessons did. I became faster at finding product-market fit and calmer under delivery pressure.
- Crossover, 1 year
Re-Architecting Legacy
Old Products, New Architectures: Contributed to modernizing large enterprise products.
Learned how large companies stay afloat by relying on well defined processes and avoiding chaos.
- Drapr (Y Combinator)
Return This!
Worked for a YC startup and built an app that helped shoppers easily return the clothes that were not the right fit.
I learned to take ownership of technical decisions and product trade-offs.
- Gap, 3 years
Acquisition and Reducing Returns
Built a fit tool that helped online shoppers pick the right size, directly reducing returns.
I learned how to experiment quickly, analyze user behavior, and ship improvements that move real business metrics.
- Now and Forever
Going Solo
I build and launch my own SaaS products while consulting founders and startups. The mix keeps me close to both execution and strategy.

How I Think
When I'm not writing code, I enjoy sharpening my mind and testing my instincts:
🏀 Basketball: teamwork, agility, and finding rhythm in motion.
Spacing, timing, easy buckets. The best plays make teammates better and keep the scoreboard moving - same for product teams.
