About

I am a hands-on software architect with 27+ years of experience solving complex challenges through technology — from writing assembly code on mainframes to harnessing the power of Generative AI. I am an entrepreneur at heart and I have co-founded three startups over the past decade. Today, I’m building Genrise.ai, an ecommerce content agent that leverages Generative AI to help retailers optimize digital shelf content at scale — boosting discoverability, compliance, and conversion across marketplaces.
