I sit at the intersection of an operator’s feel for how a real business runs, and the engineering ability to build software that automates its workflows and integrates its disparate data. I got here backwards: for a decade I ran technically complex construction and custom-fenestration companies, where disconnected tools and stranded data were a daily tax—so I built the custom software and third-party integrations the business needed, from a product owner’s perspective.

Work Experience

Independent Agent-Infrastructure Work at rordi
July 1, 2026 - Present
Independent R&D on agent orchestration: building a multi-agent “software factory” running on the user’s own server that orchestrates the best models (e.g., Claude Code, Codex) and adds infrastructure layers they lack, including a durable, verifiable ontology that normalizes agent outputs and ingested data into a single queryable entity graph. Implemented an orchestration stack using React 19 and Cloudflare Workers with a Hono API and Durable Objects. Built a VPS agent-gateway that spawns detached Bun runners behind a pluggable adapter so adding models is mechanical. Developed open-source tooling focused on phase-gated agent workflows, transcript analysis, and evaluation-driven verification.
Lead Developer at Baseplane
October 1, 2025 - July 1, 2026
Enterprise AI platform for general contractors with a forward-deployed approach: embedded with a practicing contractor to scope the business end to end and translate real workflow mechanics (estimating, compliance, project records, and back-office processes) into automations. Ran discovery to deployment for the first production customer processing live contractor workflows. Collapsed multiple construction SaaS products into one system and validated stranded project data previously held in Procore and other tools into one queryable system aligned with real operations. Delivered a working in-production platform.
Founder & Principal at Mantle Homes LLC
January 1, 2022 - January 1, 2025
Design-build firm for modern, high-performance homes. Led end-to-end lifecycle delivery across five custom homes and built internal preconstruction coordination systems to standardize takeoffs, vendor selection, RFQ, bid leveling, delivery tracking, scheduling, and QA using Google Sheets + Apps Script plus ClickUp and Miro. Established workflow patterns later used in the construction vertical for Baseplane.
Founder & CEO at Mavrik, Inc.
January 1, 2015 - January 1, 2025
Founded and scaled an import business for custom European windows and doors, reaching $5M+ across 100+ projects. Managed an exceptionally complex custom-order process: shop-drawing revision control aligning architectural plans, client visual specifications, and European manufacturer capabilities through many iterations; exhaustive parts lists; international logistics; and clear communication for unfamiliar U.S. installation processes.
