I've been building products since my first year of university, and I still care most about the person on the other side of the screen. I turn messy problems into products people actually use, then run them in production. What I build is AI-native, one product with two kinds of users: people get an interface they enjoy, and their agents get APIs and MCP tools they can actually call.
More than half a decade in, I take products from the first conversation to launch and keep them healthy at scale. NoteBot, the platform I started in 2018, has served over 4.7 million requests.

Started BUTEX NoteBot in 2018 and still run it. I take products from the first conversation to launch, and keep owning them.
Scope with the team, cut to what matters, ship what people use.
Built for people and agents. Routed and cached to stay fast and cheap.

Queues, caching and graceful fallbacks for millions of requests. Deploys, monitoring and patches too: I'm the one who gets paged.
Slack bots, n8n workflows and Apps Script that take repetitive work off a team.
Building the software a real estate investment firm and the organizations it works with run on: investor platforms, learning and operations systems, marketing sites with lead capture, and AI tools. I'm scoping it with the teams, building it, hosting it and keeping it healthy.
Leading the AI engines behind TrueBeep, a marketing platform, and PROA, a multi-tenant ERP: building copilots with memory, retrieval over documents, inbox agents, and model routing and caching that keep cost and latency down.
It started as a Messenger bot that sent lecture notes to classmates. I'm still building it into a full study platform, with a web app, an Android app, analytics, an AI-assisted note pipeline and an MCP server, and I run all of it.
A part-time project I took on alongside my full-time roles. I built most of the frontend for a program management platform: roles and designations, project cohorts and branches, donor and area data, and approvals.
Built WebManza, a drag-and-drop store builder. Moving storefronts to server rendering fixed their SEO, and RTK Query caching cut about 40% of redundant network calls.
My first engineering job. I worked heavily on the DeliveryHobe storefront and the React Native app delivery riders use, then moved to AdsHobe and built its ads platform frontend from scratch.
What I do now to keep production AI features cheap and quick: route by difficulty, cache prompts and results, budget tokens, cap spend, benchmark first.
How I built MCP servers that let BUTEX students ask Claude or ChatGPT about official notices and NoteBot notes, and why no tool ever throws.
How a Google Form became a pipeline that secures files, lets Claude place notes in the right spot, and still waits for a human to merge.
Rust core, React shell, Tauri 2. Under 5 MB to install.
MCP servers for students, with free keys and OAuth.
Shipped the first phase of an internal platform as the sole engineer.
Outgoing connections view and a calmer light theme.
Published the essay and reference design.
AI engine with memory and document search for a multi-tenant ERP.
Hiring, or have a product that needs building?
Full-time roles, consulting and advisory work. I usually reply within a day.
