What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and scale AI-driven products end-to-end—owning P&L, shipping fast, and turning data into automations and growth that customers feel every day.

I’m a founder who scaled Stash Cycles from $0 to $2M in two years as a solo operator, with experience across nearly all business disciplines. I built and shipped multiple AI-driven applications used by customers daily, including a novel visual custom bike builder app delivered in 4 weeks to support a strategic pivot.

At Stash Cycles, I architected AI-first infrastructure across 45k+ SKUs to automate pricing, catalog, and ops, and I developed custom tooling in Replit that eliminated ~$8k/month in external SaaS costs. Previously, I led enterprise ERP migration (NetSuite) through go-live, drove enterprise adoption via requirements/UAT, and built ETL/analytics capabilities that increased visibility and accuracy—backed by hands-on supply chain ownership and operational process automation.
