Summary
🔹 About Engineering leader at the intersection of AI, human collaboration, and social impact. I’ve spent my career building systems that activate the human network, from patented recommender platforms used by 10,000+ enterprise users to AI-powered productivity tools supporting neurodivergent professionals. Currently, I’m the founder and CTO of Deedit, where we’re combining LLMs, persuasive design, and social influence to drive personal growth and well-being. Prior to this, I led the software org at Bellwether Coffee, scaling from 0 to 18+ engineers, launching a global IoT product, and supporting $110M+ in funding to uplift everyone in the coffee farm-to-cup supply chain. Earlier in my journey, I attracted $140M+ in investment to fuel innovation in my hometown, co-founded a startup around my AI patent, and mentored 900+ founders globally through programs like Founder Institute and Kauffman Fellows. 🔹 Areas of Focus • AI/ML Systems • Human-AI Collaboration • Engineering Management • Product-Led Strategy • 0→1 SaaS Platforms • Agent Engineering • LLM-Based Productivity Tools 🔹 What Drives Me I’m passionate about enabling humanity to collaboratively shape the future, using technology not as a replacement for human potential, but as a force multiplier for collective progress. Let’s connect if you’re building products that help people grow, work better together, or scale impact through AI.
