25 Years of Engineering. 10× Solo with AI.

Two decades scaling engineering organizations. Now solo — proving what 10× velocity looks like when deep architectural judgment meets AI-First methodology.

I'm a tech expert with 25 years deep in engineering. Today I build solo, leveraging AI for 10× velocity — shipping production apps single-handedly that would normally take a small team months.

Through 1Month, every app goes from idea to a working app on a device in roughly a month — backed by production CI/CD, cloud-native architecture, and ready to scale. No prototypes. No demos. Real apps, real complexity.

Behind the velocity is two decades of architectural leadership: scaling global R&D teams across Kaltura, Arbox, Assure, and FTS; running incident response with calm under pressure; aligning technical strategy with commercial ROI. The same judgment that shaped enterprise platforms now shapes every line of code, every infrastructure decision, every release.

🚀
Builder | 1Month
2025 - Present

Proving the exponential velocity of AI-First workflows: the first app took 1 month from idea to working product on my device; The second, utilizing established prompts, took a single night. In under 6 months, single-handedly engineered and shipped 6 applications across iOS, Android, macOS, Web, and backed by CI/CD and Cloud infrastructure. Every mobile app was delivered with uncompromising enterprise-grade architecture and rigorous security standards.
