About

Founding Engineer at Sheet0, building Helio. I work on AI-native products, agents, and workflow automation: turning messy, high-friction tasks into reliable software that helps people move faster. At Sheet0, I’m focused on building Helio from 0 to 1 across product, engineering, and infrastructure. That includes designing agentic workflows, building full-stack systems, improving user experience, and shaping the foundations that make the product useful, fast, and dependable. I’m especially interested in the intersection of AI agents, product taste, automation, and real user feedback. My favorite work is taking an ambiguous problem, finding the sharpest version of it, and shipping something people actually want to use.
