AI-native product engineer, self-taught, with 8+ years building software. I ship whole products by directing AI agents and reviewing every change: four games live on Google Play, two paid SaaS products, five packages published on npm, and the agent tooling behind them.

Experience

  1. Founder & Software Engineer · OffByThree Games

    2026–Present

    • Run an agentic development workflow with Claude Code at the center: written specs and task plans, test-first gates, and a human review of every change.
    • Shipped four mobile games to Google Play, one of which ships a self-hosted over-the-air update pipeline with sha256-verified bundles and automatic rollback.
    • Built and launched two paid SaaS products on Next.js, React, and Stripe: Whipdoc (PDF compression API) and Linklock.live (static-site hosting).
    • Built and sell a commercial developer tool that bridges AI coding agents to the Godot editor, including license verification, offline grace handling, and a Windows installer.
    • Built AI developer tooling: an MCP server for desktop automation and a delegation layer that hands coding tasks from Claude Code to locally hosted open-weights models.

  2. Software Engineer (Contract) · InSpa

    2022–2026

    • Built a C# application that automates extraction, filtering, and Excel reporting of transaction data, with scheduled email distribution for executives.
    • Built a React and Material-UI analytics tool on Firebase that managers use to evaluate service performance and staff efficiency.
    • Designed an AI chat assistant on the OpenAI Assistants API that gives real-time insight into sales and marketing.
    • Led the deployment of a customer-facing app on in-store kiosks.

  3. Web Developer (Contract) · CRC Oncology

    2022–2023

    • Implemented a secure, Azure-based method of transferring patient data within a two-week deadline, enabling five new global clients.
