About

Business experience meets product execution.

My career has been built around understanding complex enterprise problems — working with customers, leading teams, growing revenue, navigating operational challenges, and translating business needs into action.

More recently, I've taken that experience directly into AI product development by founding and building Staxaxis, an enterprise AI product designed to identify and quantify value loss across disconnected business systems.

That combination gives me a perspective that sits between customer, product, technology, and go-to-market.

Customer

Deep enterprise customer and executive experience.

Product

From problem discovery and requirements through production and iteration.

AI + Technology

Hands-on experience building AI-enabled enterprise workflows and technical product infrastructure.

GTM

Pricing, positioning, customer discovery, partnerships, sales, and market validation.

Featured Product

I didn't just study AI product development. I built one.

Staxaxis is an enterprise AI product designed to identify, quantify, and validate revenue leakage and operational value loss hiding between disconnected business systems.

Case Study

From business problem to production AI product.

  1. 01

    The Problem

    Critical business information is scattered across systems that never see each other.

    CRM knows what was sold, ERP knows what was billed, support knows what went wrong, and finance knows what was collected — but individual systems rarely understand the full relationship.

  2. 02

    The Hypothesis

    What if those systems could be analyzed together?

    Correlating them could surface value leakage and operational problems that no individual application is able to see on its own.

  3. 03

    The Product

    Staxaxis correlates data across enterprise systems and produces evidence-backed findings.

    Each finding is tied to defensible business impact, not just a dashboard metric — so a result can be traced back to the evidence behind it.

  4. 04

    The Hard Parts

    Getting this right meant solving problems across AI, data, security, and economics at once.

    • AI grounding
    • Evidence lineage
    • Cross-system correlation
    • Economic integrity
    • Human review
    • Multi-tenancy
    • RBAC
    • Enterprise integrations
    • Security
    • Scalability
    • Outcome verification
  5. 05

    Taking It to Market

    I moved beyond building into customer discovery and go-to-market testing.

    Design-partner outreach, competitive analysis, pricing experiments, positioning, and investor conversations — treating market validation as part of the product work.

What I owned

Building Staxaxis required operating across product, customer, business, and technical decisions rather than treating them as separate disciplines.

Other Products I've Built

Staxaxis is the deepest example of my product work, but it is not the only product I've taken from idea to implementation. These projects reflect how I use product development to test hypotheses, solve practical problems, and learn quickly.
BoostYoSEO — Product Overview
Product Overview

BoostYoSEO

SEO / Growth Technology

View Product
Problem
Most small-business websites quietly work against their owners — outdated, slow, hard to find on Google, and not converting — while owners get lost in SEO jargon and mystery retainers.
Product
BoostYoSEO scores a site across eight signals — SEO, performance, content, conversion, local visibility, authority, mobile, and AI-search readiness — then improves how it looks, ranks, and converts through website creation, redesign, or focused SEO, with a running Boost Score and a proof-of-work record.

My role

  • Product concept
  • UX
  • Boost Score model
  • Workflow design
  • AI-assisted development
  • Positioning
  • Testing
  • Iteration

AI / Sales Intelligence

View Product
Problem
Sales teams miss technology initiatives — cloud migrations, ERP overhauls, AI programs — until they are obvious and competitive. The evidence is public but scattered across job posts, funding, leadership moves, and stack changes.
Product
Proxvive reads public evidence and correlates scattered signals into a single scored, named opportunity. Every conclusion is traceable to the evidence behind it, labeled Confirmed, Detected, or Inferred with a confidence score, and surfaced with a recommended next move.

My role

  • Product concept
  • Signal correlation model
  • Evidence & confidence design
  • AI use cases
  • UX
  • Messaging
  • GTM experimentation

Product Iteration

OverstaxUnderstaxAdaptastaxStaxaxis

Earlier focused concepts explored different angles of identifying hidden business inefficiencies and operational value loss. The strongest ideas were progressively consolidated into the broader Staxaxis product — experiment, learn, consolidate, improve.

I build to learn.

Product development is how I test ideas. Rather than stopping at strategy, I build working products, put them in front of users, evaluate what resonates, and refine the direction based on evidence.

  • Identify problem
  • Form hypothesis
  • Build
  • Put in front of market
  • Observe
  • Iterate

How I Work

Where I create the most value.

1

Discover

Start with the business problem rather than the technology.

2

Translate

Turn customer and business complexity into clear product requirements.

3

Build

Use modern AI and product-development workflows to move rapidly from hypothesis to working product.

4

Validate

Put the product in front of the market, measure what happens, and iterate based on evidence.

I work best at the intersection of customers, product, technology, and go-to-market — particularly when the problem is ambiguous and the path forward has to be discovered.
