I’m looking for a remote role where I can combine product thinking, problem solving, customer experience, and AI. I enjoy taking ownership, learning quickly, debugging problems, and improving products or customer experiences. I’m open to product, support, implementation, QA, customer success, and AI-focused roles, especially at startups.

AI-native product developer building SaaS, web, and mobile products from overlooked problems.
What I'm looking for
At MenuTap, I built a multi-tenant, Supabase-backed restaurant SaaS with database-driven menu management and NFC/QR publishing. I also created an AI-assisted review workflow that turns existing restaurant menus into structured, editable digital menus.
With UGC Camera, I built a browser-camera and UGC platform for local businesses and e-commerce, testing it repeatedly on real devices. I worked on high-resolution capture, camera interactions, and multilingual mobile journeys.
I built macOS productivity apps including iVoice, iOrganize, and iBrain using AI-assisted development. Earlier, I launched The Auto Barber during the pandemic and grew it to six-figure revenue and 165+ five-star Google reviews.
