Hands-on AI CTO · Head of AI

I design it, build it, and make it run itself. Then I build and lead the team that keeps it running, so nobody has to carry it all alone.

Experience

  1. ZoomProp

    2022 – Present

    Founder & CTO

    Every call, answered. The AI phone line for the brokerage: 24/7 coverage without another hire, answered to brand and written to the desk.

    I founded ZoomProp and lead product and engineering.

    • A per-team AI voice line that answers and places calls, captures leads, showings, and maintenance requests, and hands off to a person when it should.
    • An operator desk for calls, clients, deals, 1031 exchanges, prospecting, websites, and properties.
    • Property search over nationwide data, plus a browser dialer for prospecting.
    • Agentic infrastructure that takes work from a request to a checked, shipped change.
    • I work across all four of my pillars here: the brand and the product, the architecture with my hands on it, the team and the delivery rhythm, and the agentic systems underneath.

  2. Rhombus

    Nov 2019 – Jan 2023

    VP of Product

    I led product at Rhombus, keeping the roadmap, design, and engineering pointed at the same problems.

    Rhombus was acquired by Kargo in August 2020.

  3. MLB

    Aug 2018 – Oct 2019

    Director of Front-End Software Engineering

    I led front-end engineering for MLB.com, the At Bat app, stats, scores and player pages.

    • Led a long-tenured front-end team through a shift in technology, as the stack moved toward React and Next.js.
    • Drove an MLB React component library for faster builds and a more cohesive design environment.
    • Reviewed and mapped the data and API layer and proposed a path to modernize it.

  4. eBay

    2016 – 2018

    Design Engineer

    I led rapid prototyping with eBay's C-suite and helped develop the design system eBay still builds on.

  5. Pandora

    2013 – 2015

    Interaction Designer/Developer

    At Pandora I designed interactions and then built them, so the same person carried the idea from sketch to working code.

  6. BYND

    2013

    Front-End Developer

    Client work for Apple (iAd), Facebook (Safety Check prototyping), Google (marketing pages) and YouTube (first email marketing campaign prototype).

Agentic infrastructure

Starship

My own self-hosted agentic infrastructure, running local models on a small hardware fleet.

An agent loop plans, writes, checks, and ships code through quality gates and a shared skill library.
