Polyglot founder-engineer. I build things across web, mobile, and AI infrastructure -- from zero-to-one to post-PMF scale.
Founder Variant Systems -- a bootstrapped AI-native consultancy where senior engineers pair-program with AI to deliver what usually takes 3-5x the headcount. We also build our own products, starting with Postbox -- an agent-native form backend for structured inbound workflows.
Previously helped take InVideo through an AI product pivot and scale post-PMF. Before that, grew NativeBase Startup Plus 0 -> 1 at GeekyAnts.
- Variant Systems -- AI-empowered software consulting (not AI-enabled)
- Postbox -- structured data collection for humans and agents. The schema is the intent. The URL is the interface.
