Introduction
I turn AI use cases into deployed products, in environments where mistakes are expensive: pharma, banking, transport, finance, marketing. 15 years of product design, 3 years of hands-on coding (React, Figma plugins, VS Code extensions), and a long-held conviction: AI value is won at deployment, not in the demo. How I work: I embed with your teams, frame the business problem with domain experts, and ship functional prototypes in days, not quarters (Claude Code, Cursor, CI).
