About

I build AI products and the AI systems that power them—a rare combination in today's market. As Co-Founder & CTO at Canvas AI, I'm shipping production-ready AI agents that teams can deploy without writing code. But I'm not just managing product—I'm in the trenches building the underlying AI architecture, training models, and solving the hard engineering problems that most AI product leaders delegate. This dual perspective shapes everything I think about: → How to design AI products that users actually want → What's technically feasible vs. what's just hype → Bridging the gap between AI research and production systems → Building AI infrastructure that scales My background spans AI/ML engineering, cloud architecture, data science, and technical leadership across companies like Parallel and Equal Experts. I've gone from Software Engineer to Engineering Lead to now building Canvas AI from the ground up. I believe the future belongs to builders who understand both the "what" (product) and the "how" (engineering) of AI. That's the perspective I bring to everything I create. Currently focused on: AI agents, LLM applications, production AI systems, and helping teams navigate the AI product landscape. Let's connect if you're building in AI, thinking about AI product strategy, or want to talk about what it really takes to ship AI that works.
