Pitch
I've started, run, and exited companies, written code in the trenches for 20+ years, and now spend my time building agentic systems that actually ship. Strategy, engineering, and AI in one head — I'm the operator who delivers.
FounderRaised $12M in venture capital across multiple startups. Built & exited Retsly (→ Zillow '14), early at Datahero (→ Cloudability '16), CEO at CTO.ai shipping cloud-native developer infrastructure.
Engineer20+ years shipping production software — open source (FeathersJS core team), platform infra (Zillow Group), developer tools (CTO.ai). Still writing code daily.
Agentic opsOperate a swarm of autonomous agents that pitch, design, and prototype the ideas on this site. The agents on /ideas are real — they workshop every idea before a human approves it.
