Areas of Focus & Expertise
Applying the precision of a classical musician and the experience of a B2B tech veteran to designing, building, and deploying high-performance software.
AI Workflow Integration
Building custom AI workflows—like automatic content adaptation and background document checkups—to automate repetitive tasks and remove software friction.
Full-Stack SaaS Development
Designing and building clean, modern web applications from scratch, leveraging Next.js, Neon Serverless Postgres, and Stripe integrations.
Payments & Subscriptions Strategy
Architecting robust billing systems, subscription models, payment processing pipelines, and Stripe Connect multi-party payouts.
Solutions Engineering & Architecture
Leading and scaling pre-sales solutions engineering teams, mapping technical architectures, and designing sales engineering strategies.
Featured Projects
A look at actual applications I've built for personal passions and commercial validation.
Teach Weave
K-12 AI-Adaptive Lesson Marketplace
A modern alternative to Teachers Pay Teachers. It uses AI to adapt resources (like reading levels or languages) on the fly and maps them to state compliance standards.
Bank of Gaga
Informal Family Loan Tracker
A friendly app that replaces awkward family loan spreadsheets. Lenders get formal loan contracts and automated timelines, while kids learn investing with simulated cash.
Teaching Sax
Wind Studio Management Software
A custom teaching tool built when I restarted my virtual saxophone studio. It tracks student practice, handles scheduling, and features a low-latency video player tuned for music lessons.
Truths & Lies: AI Edition
Kids Prompt Engineering Game
An AI-powered trivia game I built with my 8-year-old son to teach him prompt engineering. It uses Gemini to create fun, age-friendly categories on the fly.
About the Builder
I've spent the last 17 years building, scaling, and supporting SaaS products. My experience spans everything from sales engineering and product management to sysadmin and managing pre-sales solutions consulting teams. I've had the chance to work across diverse fields including subscription billing, embedded payment systems, cybersecurity awareness, video surveillance, and hosting infrastructure.
But before my detour into the tech world, my training was in classical music. I hold a music education degree and served as a high school and middle school band director (my primary instrument is the saxophone). In many ways, building software feels just like teaching music: you're analyzing complex, micro-level processes, finding the cleanest path forward, and automating structures so that students—or users—can succeed without hitting unnecessary friction.
Now based in San Antonio, Texas, I use my unique background to help teams integrate AI workflows into their businesses, build lifestyle SaaS tools that make lives easier, and coach pre-sales engineering teams to perform at their absolute best.
