About Me
25+ years of building, breaking, and scaling technology – from writing my first line of code to leading teams that delivered 1,000+ projects.
The Story
I've spent over two decades at the intersection of technology and business. Starting as a software engineer in 2003, I've held every role from IC to CTO to CEO to Founder – and I've learned that the best technology decisions are the ones you don't make.
As Founder & CTO of AppMaster.io, I built a no-code platform used in 190+ countries. Along the way, I filed 7 patents, earned 45+ certifications, founded 9 startups, and – most importantly – learned how to build lean teams that punch way above their weight.
In 2025, I transitioned AppMaster to AI-first operations, reducing the team by 80% while maintaining full output. Two people now do the work of 25. That experience taught me that the future of startups isn't about hiring more – it's about deploying intelligence strategically.
Today, I work as a Fractional CTO and Startup Advisor, helping founders navigate the same challenges I've spent 25 years solving.
