About

I build SaaS products in the email and MarTech space. I bootstrapped SendX with my co-founders. Sold it to Inturact Capital. And now operate as their Partner & CTO across a portfolio of MarTech products — SendPost, SendVerify, Ring4, and SendX. My main focus now is SendPost and my work here is simple: Fix everything that breaks when an ESP tries to scale to 100M+ emails per month. Bad routing. Blind throttles. Zero visibility. All the stuff glossy dashboards pretend doesn’t exist. What I'm good at: - Deep engineering ability to build infrastructure end-to-end - Understanding of how ESPs operate and what breaks at scale - Taking products through the 0 → $1M stage and into the $2–10M scale zone - Building effective teams and systems across engineering, support, deliverability, and sales Over the last few years, I’ve spent as much time on org design and systems as I have in code – making sure the tech, people, and processes all move in the same direction. But I’m a builder before I’m anything else. If you’re an ESP with deliverability challenges, we've likely seen it before and can help you solve it faster.
