I help founders turn an idea into a working AI product: define the MVP, shape the architecture, build the platform, and put the operating workflows around it. My specialty is AI-native SaaS, learning and operational systems that combine product experience with automation, measurable outcomes, and bootstrap-friendly infrastructure. I work across product, engineering and GTM, so the first version is designed to be usable, maintainable and commercially viable - not just a prototype. Recent platforms: - SoloFrameHub Customer Acquisition Academy: a 46-course, 7-track AI-native education and growth platform built with Next.js + TypeScript, interactive learning tools, outcome tracking, and a self-hosted operating stack. It uses Docker/Dokploy, NodeBB, Listmonk, n8n and Trigger.dev, with predictable operating costs below $100/month. - Digital Wellness Academy: a 39-course HIPAA-ready mental-health education and operations platform supporting a psychiatric practice, with AI decision support, outcomes tracking and streamlined Health Management System workflows. - Mono-PaaS: a manifest-driven platform model for "Learn, Execute, Refine" operational intelligence, designed to turn workflow signals and feedback into the next product or process improvement. I can integrate the systems that make a new platform work end to end, including n8n, NextERP, Twenty CRM and Resend. For appropriate products, I use self-hosted VPS infrastructure to deliver capable systems at a predictable sub-$100 monthly base cost, avoiding runaway consumption pricing from typical cloud setups. Before building platforms full time, I spent 30+ years helping enterprise technology reach revenue through GTM, product marketing and strategic partnerships at GE, Unisys and early-stage Silicon Valley companies. That background means I am as comfortable asking what will sell, get adopted and scale operationally as I am shaping the build. I also built and localized GTM and startup-education platforms for LATAM. Best fit: - Founders who need a credible MVP or platform created from scratch - Teams turning AI workflows into a real product or operational system - Learning, healthcare and knowledge platforms that need product plus operating design - Bootstrap-minded companies that need strong capability without uncontrolled infrastructure cost Selected recognition: Semifinalist, Nebius AI Discovery Award for AI Innovation in Healthcare. If you have a concept, legacy workflow or early product that needs a practical path to build and launch, I can help translate it into a working system.
