About
Hands-on CTO and AI architect. At Pendoah.ai I productize GenAI into repeatable SME-ready solutions across legal, healthcare, finance, revenue operations, and commerce. I'm comfortable at the board level and in the codebase—turning pilots into paid products and making experimentation production-safe.
How I Work
SME-First Productization
Ship in weeks, not quarters. Start lean, prove ROI fast, then harden for scale. No science projects.
Enterprise-Grade by Default
Multi-tenant SaaS, security, and compliance patterns so SMEs can grow without re-platforming.
Metrics Over Hype
Every build ties to a number: revenue recovered, cost removed, cycle time cut, ARR grown.
