About

Hands-on CTO and AI architect. At Pendoah.ai I productize GenAI into repeatable SME-ready solutions across legal, healthcare, finance, revenue operations, and commerce. I'm comfortable at the board level and in the codebase—turning pilots into paid products and making experimentation production-safe.

How I Work

SME-First Productization

Ship in weeks, not quarters. Start lean, prove ROI fast, then harden for scale.

Enterprise-Grade by Default

Multi-tenant SaaS, security, and compliance patterns so SMEs can grow without re-platforming.

Metrics Over Hype

Every build ties to a number: revenue recovered, cost removed, cycle time cut, ARR grown.
