@justinw1
I build and scale AI platforms, connected hardware, and digital products from 0-to-1.
What I'm looking for
At Toyota, I built Forge from prototype to production: a 13-agent enterprise LLM orchestration platform that cut component-development effort 72% and compressed delivery from 12 months to 2. I own product vision, roadmap, architecture, cost tracking, and the hands-on build of AI systems that teams can adopt.
Previously, I grew Atoms Labs from zero to a multi-million-dollar acquisition across 26 connected-hardware SKUs, owning product, GTM, P&L, and the hardware-to-cloud stack. I've also led technical programs at Hyundai and Toyota, turning complex cross-functional work into shipped outcomes.
