Profile

Full-stack software engineer and product builder with 20+ years of experience delivering impactful software. I thrive in early-stage environments where speed, ownership, and user value matter most. As co-founder of BrainFusion Learning, I've built AI-powered edtech products from the ground up, from architecture to launch. I combine hands-on coding with a founder's mentality - iterating fast, making pragmatic tradeoffs, and shipping products that delight users.

Fluent in AI-assisted development, leveraging GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, and OpenAI APIs to accelerate prototyping, refactoring, and production-quality delivery.
