Co-Founder & Lead Engineer
2022 - 2024
We designed and built generative AI and SaaS products for over 15 startups. Expanded the team to 8 people. Some of my work: 1. Built a crypto exchange from the ground up. 2. Built LLM and RAG pipelines to index ESG data at scale. 3. Built an ML model to analyze and predict bookings for events. 4. Built the frontend for a generative AI app with 100k+ users/mo There were many ups and downs but it was one of the greatest learning experiences of my life.
Co-Founder
2023 - 2023
A fun side project to learn about productionizing LLMs with my brother. We "taught" an LLM all the content from Andrew Huberman podcast and Paul Graham's site, making them accessible via SMS. We gained 800 daily active users in 2 weeks. One person used it religiously over 6 months to pivot their career from construction to AI consulting.
Frontend Web Developer
2021 - 2023
Built an AI powered writing assistant to help content creators find monetization opportunities. Raised a small pre-seed at the NEXT 36 accelerator and worked with 25 top content creators on Medium.
Co-Founder
2020 - 2021
The Makerstop was a 3D print shop. I got bored during COVID so I found a way to monetize my 3D printer. Built products for 50 customers and generated $2k+ in revenue. Used the money to buy more machines and build RC airplanes/drones. Later tried to build a SaaS to automate 3D print quoting but failed.
