02 / who's typing
i build fast and i break things on purpose — that is how you find out where they are weak.
engineer by training, founder by habit. i started ClassNotes out of a garage and pushed it to 35m+ users and 50k daily actives. before that i shipped connected-lighting hardware as CPO at Clique. now i build AI automation at Rokt by day and my own tools at night. the loop is always the same: ship, watch it break, fix it, ship again.
