Falling the whole way up — building 0→1 motions, forging alliances,
and figuring it out as I go. Extremely thankful and fortunate.

I'm a hard-working, empathetic, curious, and self-aware Navy vet who's been "falling the whole way up" ever since I stepped off the USS Blue Ridge in Yokosuka, Japan. I'm a great number two who's actively learning how to be a great number one — and I'm not embarrassed to say that out loud.
My superpower is stepping into rooms I wasn't supposed to be in yet, figuring it out, and building structure where there wasn't any. I've built alliance motions from zero, launched 130+ node n8n automations that saved teams hundreds of hours, and talked to over 1,000 customers trying to solve a problem I believed in.
I YouTube everything. I ask questions others are too afraid to ask. And I genuinely care — about the work, the people around me, and leaving things better than I found them.
Where I learned discipline, accountability, and how to stay calm when everything is on fire. Literally.
131-node n8n workflow: monitors Google Drive for meeting recordings → ElevenLabs STT transcription (FFmpeg chunking for large files + async webhook callbacks) → GPT-4o structured JSON processing → decisions, owners, action items, open questions → Drive distribution + full Airtable session tracking. Process locking, retry queues, multi-path error handling.
122-node n8n pipeline: scrapes trending X posts → GPT-4o research & script generation → ElevenLabs TTS voiceover → HeyGen avatar video → FFmpeg compositing (video + voice + music + .ass captions) → publishes to 10 channels via Blotato. Airtable CMS with dedup & scheduling.
AI-assisted mobile app for small business resellers — computer vision and LLM-powered pricing to streamline bulk product lookup, pricing, and inventory workflows at scale.
Kovu was a GenAI mobile app built for the estate sale and resale world. The pitch was simple: Google Lens at scale, with accurate pricing. Small business resellers were losing money pricing things manually. I thought AI could fix that.
Talked to over 1,000 real businesses. Validated the pain. Designed the product. Built the 0→1 motion. Learned what product-market fit actually means when you're the one trying to find it — not reading about it in a blog post.
A mix of market timing, resource constraints, and the honest reality that being a great number two doesn't automatically make you a great number one. I was learning to lead while trying to build. That's hard. I don't regret it for a second.
Founder-level empathy. Deep respect for anyone who builds something. A real understanding of what discovery, market validation, and zero-to-one product strategy feel like when the stakes are yours. I wouldn't trade it.
Available for contract work, advisory roles, and strategic collaborations. AI, business development, alliance/ecosystem building, or a project that needs a great number two — I'm in.
