Hi, I'm Chris.

Senior product engineering, accelerated by AI.

AI-augmented workflows let me take a brief to a deployed product faster than traditional teams, without trading off quality or technical judgment.

I partner with founders and product teams to ship ambitious ideas, combining senior engineering experience with AI-augmented workflows that compress timelines and raise the quality bar.

  1. 01

    Frame

    Align on scope, constraints, and success criteria so the build answers the right questions from day one.

  2. 02

    Build

    Ship a working product using AI-augmented workflows: faster timelines, higher quality, and full visibility throughout.

  3. 03

    Hand off

    Hand off clean, documented code with architecture rationale so your team can own and scale it confidently.

Proven across public sector, research, enterprise, and product teams.

I use AI to amplify senior judgment, not replace it, so the work ships faster and still holds up to scrutiny.

  • 01

    Decisive pace

    AI tools across the full build cycle (design, engineering, and QA) compress timelines without sacrificing the technical quality your stakeholders will scrutinize.

  • 02

    Crafted execution

    Full-stack product engineering across data visualization, interfaces, and APIs, delivered with senior judgment at every layer from architecture to production code.

  • 03

    Senior leverage

    One engineer who has shipped 20+ products and knows which decisions matter, using AI to multiply output without cutting corners.
