About

Ops brain. Builder instincts.

I've spent a decade making developer and startup communities run, launching accelerators, managing creator programs, and telling stories to a 520K+ audience. Former founder. Currently vibe coding on the side and figuring out what to build next. Based in the SF Bay Area and open to community, program ops, and DevRel roles.

Built for my fantasy league when I got tired of guessing. Pulls live data from Sleeper and ESPN into an AI assistant that gives you lineup calls, trade reads, and matchup breakdowns. Includes a Chrome extension that recommends draft picks in real time.

Catchr

Built mid-job-search because I needed it. One click logs any listing (company, role, location, link) straight to Google Sheets. Then added AI: a fit score against your resume, tailored bullet rewrites, and a full interview prep doc, all from the same popup. Published to the Chrome Web Store for private users.

Dungee Podcast

My friend had a real podcast and no home for it. Built the Dungee site from scratch: auto-synced to YouTube, a growing episode library, email capture, and a dark editorial design that matches the show's energy.

Open to the right opportunity.

Community management, program ops, and DevRel roles. I show up curious, stay until it's done, and somehow people remember me too.
