Founder, product executive, and builder of AI-native systems that move from idea to deployment fast.

My work sits at the intersection of AI, product leadership, venture building, and execution. I design and ship systems across autonomous agents, workflow orchestration, context-aware software, local-first infrastructure, and enterprise AI products.

Unlike most AI profiles that stop at demos, my background combines product leadership, founder execution, and commercial scale: 15+ years in product and software, $150M+ supported in fundraising outcomes, multiple AI patents, and hands-on experience building both internal and market-facing AI systems.

• Epilogue — an AI venture studio building practical AI systems for real businesses
• The studio is powered by Ultron, a local-first AI Chief of Staff coordinating multi-agent work across research, planning, execution, and operations.

• Parleh — an AI meeting companion that turns notes into live action, workflows, and agent-triggered execution
• Cira — a distributed AI platform for practical execution, orchestration, and scalable AI-native workflows

• Home Lab — the infrastructure layer behind my local-first AI systems, prototyping environments, self-hosted services, and deployment experiments

• Observability platforms for infrastructure and product monitoring
• Automated developer environment provisioning
• AI agent tooling and system integrations
• Experimental decision and recommendation systems

• AI agents: single-agent, multi-agent, orchestration, delegation, memory, and tool use
• AI-native product strategy: opportunity framing, roadmap, delivery, adoption, and monetisation
• Workflow systems: meeting-to-action pipelines, research synthesis, execution loops, and operational automation
• Local-first AI infrastructure: private deployments, self-hosted stacks, on-device models, and cost-aware architecture
• Enterprise AI: document intelligence, audit automation, trust and validation systems, and agent ecosystems
• Rapid prototyping: moving from idea to functional product in days, not months

• AI and product executive with 15+ years building and scaling B2B SaaS and AI-driven products
• Helped support more than $150M in fundraising through product, positioning, and execution leadership
• Founder of Epilogue and ShossX
• Mentor and Expert-in-Residence across leading Canadian innovation ecosystems including DMZ and Forge
• Holder of 3 patents in AI
• Builder of practical systems that connect strategy, software, and operational results

• Built repeatable rapid prototyping workflows that turn opportunities into working software and demos
• Designed and deployed multi-agent internal systems for research, planning, product development, and execution
• Led AI product strategy across enterprise workflows, document intelligence, and agentic ecosystems
• Advised founders, startups, and organisations on AI adoption, product strategy, and execution models
• Built products and systems spanning consulting, venture studio work, internal AI operations, and market-facing tools

I care about AI that actually works in the real world:

• useful over performative
• deployed over theoretical
• systems over gimmicks
• product outcomes over hype
