Work with me
Product and AI, built on data you can trust.
I work with growth-stage technology companies, usually where the data is a mess and the roadmap depends on fixing it. I set the direction and build it with the team.
Get in touchFor seven years I ran Wine Folly and built the Global Wine Database underneath it: a single, standardized source of truth for the world’s wine data, gathered from producers across continents. Platforms on that data reached 20 million people. The AI work I do now started there, on top of a data layer I could trust.
What I do
Start with the data layer
Most products break at the data, not the interface. I build the layer underneath first, clean and standardized and trustworthy, so everything you ship on top of it holds.
Scale without growing the org
I've taken platforms to 20 million users. The aim is output that grows without headcount growing to match, which is mostly a question of systems and data, not people.
AI that earns its place
AI built on data you trust, not bolted on for the pitch. I built it into the products at Wine Folly, including LLMs on private infrastructure when the data was sensitive.
How I work
I lead from inside the work, not from a deck. Strategy and execution in the same hands. I’d rather ship a rough thing the team can learn from than present a polished one nobody builds.
