Seeking Lead Product Engineer roles Remote
AI at every step after the idea
I design, architect, and build whole products, including the AI features inside them. I built Men of Hunger solo and was the sole iOS developer on Rumble Studio. Underneath it all: 16 years of iOS.

I built Rumble Studio for iOS from scratch as its sole developer, then shipped every update on iPhone and iPad. The same iPad app runs on Vision Pro, with custom UI so eye tracking can highlight each control.
2,000+ creators adopted Studio by May 2024. Some who went live with it:
“The Rumble Studio feature is incredible. Effortless streaming on multiple platforms at the same time.”

I build with AI at work, but I also use it to solve problems at home, preserve family history, and experiment with how software gets made.
I’m building an AI biographer for my memoir. Custom tools connect letters, photos, stories, and interviews through a graph of people and relationships, developing the book, a wiki, and a family tree.
Letters add a voice. Connections give it context.
I’m testing a harness for AI coding agents. In my early tests: about 75% fewer tokens building iPhone screens, with similar quality and less time.

Early personal tests, not a rigorous benchmark
I use household agents with my wife, connecting Linear home tasks, calendars, and email. A morning brief helps us get going. Evening wins help us close the day.
What’s coming up. What needs attention.
I use AI to organize my income, spending, expenses, and assets into a clearer picture of my finances.
