Building AI-powered products at the intersection of technical execution and business strategy

"The bridge between technical execution and business strategy is where the interesting work happens."

About

Building products that need both technical execution and business judgment.

Engineering degree, business minor. Turns out most interesting problems need both.

The pattern: evaluate platforms, present to leadership, then build the system. Design architecture, then explain what it replaces and why.

Current focus: AI products, production systems. Half the work is deciding what's worth building.
