I build and ship AI-first products end-to-end for early-stage startups.
I ship the AI your roadmap keeps promising.
Founding AI Engineer at Turgon.AI — SF-based, backed by Founder Collective.
I work with early-stage founders as their first AI engineer — building agents, RAG systems, and the full-stack plumbing that turns "we should use AI" into features users can actually touch.
Case Files
Real products I've shipped — the architecture that held, the bugs I fixed at 2 AM, the trade-offs that mattered.
Building a Multi-Tenant Club CMS
As the Founding AI Engineer at Turgon.AI, I architected and built a multi-tenant Club CRM platform from scratch for premium elite clubs. The system manages memberships, events, reservations, payments, and AI-powered analytics across multiple branches. I designed the entire stack — from PostgreSQL schema and 150+ Next.js APIs to a responsive CMS and an AI assistant (Jango AI) that generates real-time insights and charts. The platform replaced manual workflows with a scalable, data-driven infrastructure, powering digital operations end-to-end. This project showcases my ability to own, design, and deliver complex 0→1 SaaS systems with full technical and architectural responsibility.
The Quorum - Whitelable mobile application
A customizable white-label club app built with React Native, Supabase, and PayU. It features dynamic CMS-driven content, multi-language support, member wallet, event RSVPs, art gallery, and an AI voice assistant for seamless member interactions — offering clubs a complete, branded digital experience.
Script Drafter | Turn Topics into Ready-to-Use Scripts
Script Drafter is an AI-powered automation platform that generates content scripts from user-provided topics. Users can shortlist ideas, auto-generate structured scripts, and refine them with an interactive editor. Collaboration is built-in with public link sharing and real-time comments, making it easy to co-create and improve content workflows.
Building Nayora: A Full-Stack Community OS for Engineers
A dynamic community platform built with NextJS and Prisma, designed to foster collaboration and learning. It features a user dashboard for sharing resources, a classroom section for exclusive courses, and community threads for interactive discussions. The admin dashboard provides insightful analytics on community engagement. With a focus on education and community bonding, this website empowers members to learn, share, and grow together.
How I think.
Opinions I've earned shipping software. Each one has a scar behind it.
The backbone lands in week one.
Polish comes after it survives real traffic.
A demo passes once. A product survives Tuesday at 3 AM.
I build for Tuesday.
Postgres, FastAPI, Next.js, Claude.
Tools a junior can still debug a year from now.
Every agent has a kill switch, a cost ceiling, and a retry budget.
Production agents fail gracefully — or they don't ship.
If it compiles, it's specified.
Writing types is writing documentation. The next engineer can read my mind.
