ABOUT ME
Coder, Founder, Builder.
Coder, Founder, Builder.

Senior full-stack engineer, fractional CTO, and serial founder with 10+ years of experience building production software and leading global engineering teams. I specialize in fast-moving, VC-funded environments, working hands-on as a founding engineer or product-focused CTO, and delivering AI, fintech, infra, and mobile platforms that scale.

I’ve helped startups go from idea to market, scale to millions of users, and pass high-stakes regulatory, performance, and reliability challenges. I’m most often brought in to architect complex systems, move fast without breaking things, and turn ambiguity into shipped code.

Key accomplishments:

• Built a real-time voting engine used by nearly 1M users for a live TV show (before Firebase existed)

• Created a declarative markup system to generate native mobile apps (before React Native existed)

• Delivered multimodal AI agents and influencers that went on to generate significant revenue

• Led development of NACHA-compliant fintech infrastructure for legal industry

• Architected systems adopted by Microsoft, Vodafone, Groupama, CME, Pro7Sat.1, and others

• Techstars alumni, Forbes 30 Under 30

Wise Wombat is an advanced AI agent platform designed to drive lead generation, sales qualification, and content marketing across multiple channels, all through conversational interfaces.

    • Built a scalable multi-LLM microservice architecture enabling dynamic prompt routing, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), model context protocol (MCP), and robust job orchestration with validation pipelines.
    • Integrated conversational outreach across platforms, including Telegram, Reddit (posts + real-time chat), automating lead engagement and qualification at scale.
    • Automated content generation and publishing workflows for Hashnode, LinkedIn, and X (formerly Twitter), including image and audio assets, powered by multimodal models.
    • Engineered a full-stack system with Node.js, tRPC & MongoDB services, a React-based admin dashboard, cross-platform Electron desktop clients, WebSocket-based proxy server, and Stripe payments.
    • Implemented browser-based automation via Puppeteer for custom scraping, interaction, and validation workflows.
    • Built remote-triggered, local Puppeteer automation controlled by a backend microservice over socket connections, enabling safe and distributed browser control.
    • Scaled the system to support hundreds of users and tens of thousands of qualified leads per month.

Cozy Mantis is a marketplace for high-quality, production-grade custom nodes and workflow templates for ComfyUI - the most modular and extensible interface for diffusion-based image and video generation.

    • Developed advanced ComfyUI nodes in Python, integrating support for character consistency, virtual try-on, animation, and multi-stage video generation.
    • Leveraged cutting-edge image and video models, including Stable Diffusion 1.5, SDXL, and Flux for images, and SkyReels, LTXVideo, and Mochi for video workflows.
    • Created AI-generated influencers and virtual personas that drove thousands in revenue, using fully automated pipelines for long-form content, ads, and trailers.
    • Enabled rapid production of high-quality video assets at a fraction of traditional cost, drastically reducing the time and expertise required to produce complex visual media.

Sandworm is a modern, open-source toolchain for identifying and responding to software supply chain vulnerabilities in JavaScript and PHP ecosystems. It combines real-time threat detection, large-scale static analysis, and ML-powered intelligence.

    • Developed the core open-source CLI tool in Node.js for scanning JavaScript and PHP projects (npm & Composer) for known vulnerabilities and suspicious patterns.
    • Implemented Sandworm Guard, a runtime monitoring and alerting system that enforces policies and detects unexpected behavior during npm install, protecting developers from dependency-based attacks as they happen.
    • Architected a cloud-scale scanning backend using AWS Lambda and MongoDB, indexing and analyzing all published npm and Composer packages in near real-time.
    • Built the web-facing audit platform using Next.js, Eleventy, AWS S3, CloudFront, and Lambda, including frontend UI design, static site generation for audit reports, and Stripe payments.
    • Applied LLM-assisted and ML-based techniques to uncover novel attacks and obfuscated malware, catching hundreds of active threats within minutes of deployment.
    • Contributed to developer education and ecosystem awareness through technical blog posts, documentation, and threat analyses.

A marketplace for custom developed, professional nodes and workflows for ComfyUI, the most powerful and modular diffusion model GUI. Used python to integrate various AI models to ComfyUI’s pipeline, enabling things like Stable Diffusion character consistency, Virtual Try-On, and video generation. Used AI models to generate custom, long animation videos, ads, and trailers, for a fraction of the traditional time and cost.

An open-source software security & supply chain vulnerability scanner for JavaScript code. Built AWS Lambda microservice & MongoDB infrastructure to scan all published npm packages in near-real-time. Used the Eleventy site generator, S3 and Lambda for the web application. Used machine-learning and LLM-assisted strategies to uncover hundreds of attacks just minutes after they were deployed (https://twitter.com/SandwormAlerts). Wrote blog articles (https://blog.sandworm.dev/).
