Founding Engineer & Product Strategist. The founding engineer who also owns the roadmap.

Most startups hire a PM, then an engineer, then spend six months watching them argue. I've built and shipped products across AI, govtech, and recruiting — as the person who does both. 90-day fixed engagements. 2 spots per quarter.

**Metrics:** 8,000+ devs trained, 60% faster hiring, 0→50K users 90d, Texas DIR, $2.5M follow-on, 6-month migrations vs 18mo avg, Acquired in 14 months.

**How I work:** Diagnose (Weeks 1–2), Build (Weeks 3–10), Hand off (Weeks 11–12). No retainers.
