Let's TalkAbout Me
I run a SaaS company's entire engineering function with a team of AI developer agents, and I built the system that keeps them under control.
That system is Foundry, an open-source GitHub Action I created at JoYnt. A human comments "@foundry go" on an issue, an agent works in an isolated branch, Foundry runs lint, typecheck, build, and tests, and nothing becomes a pull request until it passes. Merging always stays a human decision, and every step is recorded on GitHub.
The idea behind it is the same one that has run through my whole career: move fast inside hard constraints, and make the controls visible.
At INTL FCStone I led transactional data exchange, building the routing, reconciliation, and Dodd-Frank large-trader reporting layer the firm used to keep pace with new regulation, and before and after that I built and ran high-frequency trading platforms in futures and options.
As Director of Software Engineering at Epsilon (Conversant), I led the Ad Server API team shipping systems that ran on thousands of nodes across data centers worldwide.
Since 2019 I've co-founded and run Perception Farms, a licensed cannabis operator in Chicago now expanding into Minnesota. As CEO and President I've raised capital through convertible notes and SAFEs, structured entities and deals, negotiated leases and contracts, managed licensing and regulatory reporting across two states, and run legal diligence and litigation. I hold an M.S. in Quantitative Finance from the Illinois Institute of Technology.
I'm open to remote roles, part-time, contract, or full-time, helping teams put AI coding agents into production with real controls: solutions architect, forward-deployed, and developer-relations roles at AI coding-tool companies; AI engineering enablement and developer-experience leadership; sales and solutions engineering for regulated-industry software; and fractional CTO or agentic-delivery consulting. If your team is figuring out how to let agents write code you'd actually ship, let's talk.
