I build AI-powered operating systems for growing businesses.

COO & Head of Technology at Common Hype. Founder of Intuitional.io. Operator who writes code, turns messy workflows into leverage, and ships systems that make teams faster.

Proof of work

Real operators hire builders who can prove it.

The throughline is simple: find the operating drag, design the system, ship it, and measure the result. I'm strongest where business context and technical execution have to live in the same person.

75%

operational efficiency improvement

Through vendor partnerships, better systems, and tighter process design.

50%

less manual effort

Repetitive operating work replaced with automation and clearer workflows.

15+

years running real operations

From frontline management to the COO seat — business context you can't fake with code alone.

Case study — Common Hype × Command Center

The operating problem

Three retail locations and a growing Shopify storefront ran on spreadsheets, vendor emails, and nightly exports. Inventory truth lagged a day behind the floor, profit was a month-end guess, and payroll meant rebuilding the same sheet every week. Nothing showed what actually needed attention today.

What I built

I designed and built Command Center — a private operations platform shaped around how Common Hype actually runs, not a template the business had to bend to. Receiving, counts, purchasing, Shopify orders, profit, scheduling, payroll, and commission moved into one system, with QuickBooks, Shippo, and Discord wired in and an AI layer that answers plain-English questions against live data.

How it was built

Built with Next.js · TypeScript · Supabase / Postgres · Playwright E2E · Vercel

  1. 01

    Mapped how money and inventory move

    Sat inside the operation — floor, back office, spreadsheets — until the real workflow was on paper.

  2. 02

    Modeled the data, not a demo

    Stores, vendors, SKUs, shifts, and margins became one schema that matches how the business reasons about itself.

  3. 03

    Shipped module by module

    Receiving, counts, purchasing, orders, profit, and workforce went live on Common Hype's own domain against real data.

  4. 04

    Wired the integrations

    Shopify, QuickBooks, Shippo, and Discord connected so the system reconciles continuously instead of overnight.

  5. 05

    Put AI on top of the data

    Plain-English questions return answers grounded in the live operation — not a generic model's guess.

More proof

Other systems, same playbook.

Beyond the Command Center build — more of the operating and engineering track record.

Retail operating system

Made multi-location retail work more measurable, repeatable, and easier to run.

Built KPI discipline, reporting habits, inventory visibility, vendor workflows, and operating standards across Common Hype's stores and e-commerce operation.

AI automation layer

Reduced manual effort by 50% by turning recurring work into reliable workflows.

Identified repeatable tasks, mapped the decision paths, and built automation around the points where teams were losing time.

This portfolio

A live, deployed multi-theme Next.js site that shows I can ship polished software end to end.

Designed, built, versioned, and deployed with Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS, and Framer Motion — including the theme system you're looking at right now.

Selected builds

Software I've shipped end to end.

Beyond Common Hype's operating stack, these are standalone products I designed, built, and shipped — Shopify apps, desktop tools, and webhook infrastructure. Each one solves a specific problem, in production.

Baseify

Shopify app
LiveCode

Real-time, one-way sync from a Shopify store into the merchant's own Baserow database.

  • Streams catalog and order changes into Baserow in near real time — HMAC-verified webhooks, a Postgres queue, and a per-minute Vercel Cron worker that re-fetches the authoritative record.
  • A visual field-mapping wizard maps any Shopify GraphQL path to a Baserow column, with value transforms and relational link-to-table mappings.
  • One-click table templates and per-location inventory columns that auto-create and detect renames.
  • Idempotent bulk backfill, AES-256-GCM encrypted tokens, and all three mandatory GDPR webhooks implemented.

Ceesvee

Desktop app · CSV editor
SiteCode

A fast, faithful desktop CSV / delimited-file viewer and editor built for huge files.

  • Opens and smooth-scrolls million-row, 100MB+ files through a canvas-virtualized grid backed by a Rust core that never loads the whole file into the UI.
  • Auto-detects delimiter and encoding (UTF-8/16, Windows-1252) with correct BOM handling and faithful round-trip exports.
  • Excel-style inline editing — multi-cell copy/paste, undo/redo, and row/column insert, delete, and reorder.
  • Non-destructive filtering (nested AND/OR, 13 operators), multi-column sort, regex find & replace, and per-column summaries.

SKU & Barcode Autopilot

Shopify app
Code

Auto-assigns collision-free SKUs and barcodes to Shopify variants that are missing them.

  • Fills missing SKUs and barcodes in real time on products/create and products/update webhooks.
  • Whole-catalog backfill through a single GraphQL bulk operation, resumable per variant.
  • Guaranteed no duplicates: a DB-unique identifier registry, atomic per-shop counters, store seeding, and pre-write verification.
  • A durable per-shop work queue with HMAC-verified acks, single-writer locking, and retry-with-backoff recovery.

Hooker

Web app · webhook router
Private build

A self-hosted webhook router that transforms inbound webhooks and fans them out to Discord and HTTP.

  • Gives each source one stable inbound URL with HMAC/secret verification, a replay window, and scoped idempotency.
  • Deterministic rule-based routes fan out to multiple destinations, versioned as immutable snapshots you can replay.
  • Templated Discord embeds and HTTP bodies, per-destination retry/backoff that honors rate limits, and an SSRF host allowlist.
  • Multi-tenant workspaces with role-scoped keys, an audit log, plan limits, and optional Stripe billing.

AI Rewrite

Desktop app
Private build

Hotkey-driven AI text rewriting in any Windows app, straight from the system tray.

  • Highlight text anywhere, press a global hotkey, and the selection is rewritten in place by your chosen model.
  • Three configurable actions, each with its own prompt, hotkey, provider, model, and replace-or-copy output mode.
  • Twelve provider backends — OpenAI, OpenRouter, Groq, Mistral, DeepSeek, Ollama, LM Studio, and custom endpoints.
  • API keys held in the OS credential vault; runs tray-first in the background with optional launch-on-startup.

What I do

Operational leverage, built with code.

From AI automation to full-stack engineering, I build systems that turn operational complexity into competitive advantage.

AI Operations

Deploy AI workflows that eliminate manual drag and scale without adding headcount. Not experiments — production systems.

Systems Architecture

Build the underlying infrastructure that ties tools, data, and automation into coherent operational systems.

Process Automation

Identify bottlenecks and replace them with automated pipelines. Track everything, optimize relentlessly.

Data & Analytics

Transform raw operational data into decision-ready dashboards. Know what's working before it becomes a problem.

Full-Stack Engineering

Write code that moves the needle — inventory systems, reporting pipelines, custom backend tooling, integrations.

Compliance & Controls

Build systems that hold up under scrutiny. Documentation, audit trails, and operational safeguards baked in from the start.

Positioning

I bridge the gap between operational excellence and technical execution.

Most people can do ops. Most people can write code. Few can do both — and fewer can translate that into business results. I build systems that make operations faster, smarter, and scalable.

01

Operations

I run day-to-day execution at Common Hype across three retail locations and a growing e-commerce operation. If it needs to happen, I make sure it does.

02

Engineering

I build the systems that power the business — from inventory pipelines and automated reporting to custom backend tooling. I write code that moves the needle.

03

AI Automation

I design and deploy AI-driven workflows that eliminate manual drag. I don't experiment with AI — I operationalize it, which is where most teams fail.

04

Product Thinking

I bridge technical execution with business outcomes. I can speak to investors, manage cross-functional teams, and still debug a failing deployment.
