About
I've spent over a decade in product, program, and project roles, and the thread through all of it is delivery: turning messy, ambiguous problems into shipped work and making sure teams have what they need to move fast.
I started out adjusting auto and disability insurance claims, and I've since delivered in optometry operations, health analytics, specialty care, live events, and now agtech at IntelinAir. Every move meant learning a new domain quickly. I dig into the customer, the data, and the people who know the space, and I get productive fast. A new industry doesn't slow me down.
I'm a servant leader at heart. I absorb operational overhead so teams can focus on building. That means running Agile without the bloat, consolidating tools, and turning complex work into clear KPIs leadership can actually decide on.
I also like building things myself. I made this site, plus a full website for a friend launching his own business, using AI tools along the way. Outside of work, I'm a dad to three kids, which keeps me busy and humble, and when I can sneak away, you'll find me on a golf course chasing a better round than my last one. ⛳

Projects
Family Week Ahead
A scheduled AI agent that reconciles my family's scattered schedule sources (a paper calendar, league feeds, ClassDojo, school emails) and emails a Sunday briefing with one-tap links to add what's missing, giving my wife and me a digital calendar we can both trust. It started as the wrong problem, and discovery fixed that.
MJ Custom Clubs
A friend was opening a custom golf club fitting shop and was stuck standing up a site himself. I built and launched the full site, with a coming-soon gate live now and the rest of the site built underneath, ready to flip on.
This Portfolio Site
Planned, built, and deployed with Claude Code, from resume content to a working Next.js site, version-controlled on GitHub and shipped to Vercel.
How this site was built
This site is part of the pitch. I planned the content and structure, then used Claude Code to build it — reviewing and directing every step from scaffold to deploy. It's a working example of how I use AI tools day to day: as leverage, not autopilot.
- Plan & Build
- Claude Code — an AI coding agent I directed step by step: reviewing content, structure, and every line before it shipped.
- Framework
- Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS v4.
- Version Control
- Git, hosted on GitHub — public repo linked above.
- Hosting & CI/CD
- Deployed on Vercel, with automatic builds on every push.
