What I'm looking for

I’m open to fractional Head of Delivery and AI delivery roles, 2–3 days a week, remote from Lisbon. When more hands are needed, my team can execute.

At NerdHeadz, the AI and custom software studio I founded, I’ve helped ship more than 60 products and grow the business from zero to $1M ARR in two years. We’ve delivered projects from $5K MVPs to $1M builds, with up to 15 running in parallel on a shared weekly operating rhythm.

I bring messy roadmaps into a delivery system teams can follow, with honest estimates and fixed-budget delivery under a no-bug guarantee. I’ve built distributed teams around strong leads and brought agentic coding and internal agents into daily delivery.

My largest builds include ClearJet, handling 300,000 parcels per day at handover, and POV Nexus, an AI venture-intelligence platform. Before NerdHeadz, I ran operations for a 25-person software agency in Canada, and earlier I founded and sold a robotics school.
