Hi, I'm
From launching operator-grade telecommunications networks to building AI agents - I've spent 20 years mastering the full technology stack. I help startups accelerate product development by strategically implementing AI agents and intelligent automation, scaling engineering pace without full-time overhead.
AI-Assisted Development + DevOps Acceleration
I specialize in helping AI-first SaaS startups ship features 2-3x faster using AI-assisted development tools and DevOps acceleration. With 20 years of full-stack expertise, I combine strategic technology leadership with hands-on AI agent development experience to scale engineering pace without full-time overhead.
I'm a Software Engineer with 20 years of experience building systems from telecom infrastructure to AI agents. Currently Co-founder & CTO at YAi Digital, where I've built 6 production AI agents. Previously founded Edge Vision, scaling it to $500k revenue. I hold an MSIT-SE from Carnegie Mellon University and specialize in GCP infrastructure.
As a Fractional CTO, I help early-stage AI-first SaaS startups accelerate product development without full-time overhead. I provide strategic technology leadership - from architectural decisions to CI/CD setup - aligned with your funding stage. My focus is on teaching teams to leverage AI tools (Cursor, Claude) and building infrastructure that scales.
I work best with pre-seed and seed-stage founders who have technical co-founders or full-time engineers but need experienced leadership to unblock engineering velocity. If you're building AI features that are stuck in prototype, need CI/CD pipelines, or want to scale without hiring - I can help you ship faster.
I bring unique full-stack expertise spanning telecom infrastructure to AI agents, a proven track record of building production AI systems, and a pragmatic approach that balances clean architecture with startup speed requirements.
I work with startups as a Fractional CTO, providing strategic technology leadership without full-time overhead. This includes architectural decisions, hiring strategy, investor-ready tech narratives, and unblocked engineering velocity - all aligned with your funding stage and competitive strategy.
Accelerate engineering pace without full-time overhead
Ready to accelerate your startup? Here's how I can help:
Ship features 2-3x faster by teaching your team Cursor/Claude workflows
Instead of hiring 2-3 developers, teach your existing team to work 2-3x faster
Deploy in 30 minutes (not hours) with production-ready CI/CD pipelines
Skip hiring a DevOps engineer ($120k-180k/year) - get production-ready pipelines in weeks, not months
Build infrastructure that scales without rewrites - optimize cloud spend 20-30%
Avoid hiring infrastructure engineers ($140k-200k/year) - get scalable architecture that grows with your team
