Operations Consultant

Software meets
Street Smarts.

I'm a builder who got tired of seeing good software fail because of bad processes.

For 8 years, I operated as a CTO and Founder (Castaway Labs, Standby), building scalable SaaS products and leading engineering teams. I speak Node.js, API integrations, and cloud architecture fluently.

But I didn't want to just write code from an ivory tower. I wanted to see how it hit the ground.

The Pivot to Ops

In 2025, I co-founded Breezy Keys and TurnWrk to tackle property operations head-on.

I didn't just build the software; I managed the turnovers, coordinated the vendors, and dealt with the chaos of field operations. I saw firsthand how a “perfect” digital checklist falls apart when a cleaner is rushing to finish a turnover at 3:59 PM.

That's when it clicked: The gap isn't tools. It's the bridge between the tools and the people using them.

“I use a unique blend—CTO-level technical depth + real-world ops experience—to build automated systems that actually survive first contact with reality.”
