• Designed and built the iOS and web apps, API, partner studio and admin dashboard for a paid membership app with insider perks at Miami restaurants, bars, nightlife and wellness venues; 66 partner venues and 244 events across 10 categories.
• Grew membership with no paid advertising: partner events, promoter codes with per-code attribution, and a give-a-month, get-a-month referral program built on Stripe coupons.
• Built the email campaign agent: a Claude agent with 10 tools over live venue, event and perk data drafts each campaign, passes 35 deterministic QA checks and a reviewer, then schedules it to member segments, at about $2 per approved draft; 99.3% delivered.
• Built the AI onboarding tools: a listing generator (OpenAI plus Google Places) drafts each venue page and a ticket-URL extractor reads event details from ticketing pages; redemption uses ephemeral HMAC-signed single-use QR tokens and a geofence.
• Rewrote the app in React Native in five weeks (31 screens, 40,000 lines); 4.6 stars on the App Store; 188 CI runs with zero failures or rollbacks; 2,000+ automated tests across API, web and mobile.
• Cut the annual plan from $100 to $60; annual plans rose from under 2% to about 10% of new subscriptions.
• Shipped consent-gated push automations capped at two per week, passwordless SMS sign-in, a branded share sheet, public event pages, contact invites and geofenced nearby-perk alerts.
• Built the admin dashboard: MRR, ARR, ARPU, churn, signups by source, venue leaderboards, redemption histograms, an hourly billing audit and a Stripe-synced coupon ledger (load time cut from up to 21 seconds to under 0.5).
• Hardened security and compliance: turned a Codex security scan into 11 shipped fixes and shipped a counsel-reviewed EULA and business license, SMS consent terms and an App Store privacy label covering 17 data types.

• Run a design and engineering studio: websites, apps, AI automation, SEO, branding, pitch decks and fractional CTO work for clients in private equity, healthcare, AI, manufacturing and architecture; 100+ unique websites built and deployed since 2024, all shipped by me with parallel AI coding agents.
• Run SEO and AI-search visibility for retainer clients through cloud agents and monthly reports: clients' average search position cut in half and domain rating doubled within two months of launch.
• Took zen2.ai from 67 to 97 of 100 on the is-agentic.com agent-readiness scan in one day (llms.txt, JSON-LD graph, markdown twins of every page); Lighthouse desktop performance is 98 to 100 on eight live studio-built sites.
• Run studio operations through agents: a parallel-agent factory built 60+ personalized demo sites for an outbound offer; a daily security watch covers 32 production projects and patched 26 deployments in a single day after the October 2026 Next.js advisories.
• Built the studio's own tools: an in-site annotation overlay clients use to mark up drafts, a headless-Chrome HTML-to-PDF proposal pipeline, a Deepgram meeting transcriber that writes AI briefs, and Tipper, a QR tipping product on Stripe Connect (305.tips).

• Co-founded the company around a UL 7103-certified solar roof system; ran operations, fundraising and go-to-market, including the company's Wefunder equity crowdfunding campaign, which closed successfully.
• Designed the brand, website, seed deck, datasheet, installation manuals and sales materials, with 3D renders and AI product visualizations; cleared California test-house permitting with Anaheim's engineers.

• Led engineering and design as the on-demand tax platform grew from zero to $20M+ in annual revenue and 100+ employees; built and led a 40-person engineering, design and marketing organization on four continents.
• Ran marketing from 2022 to 2024 alongside engineering and design, including the official Concierge Tax partnership with Robinhood; 5,000+ licensed accountants, 100,000+ returns prepared.
• Helped design materials and pitch while raising $35M+, including a $4.1M Series A (2018) and a $20M Series B led by Fuel Venture Capital and IDC Ventures (2022); closed $5M+ in enterprise SaaS contracts.
• Designed and built the apps, APIs, ETL and analytics; rewrote the apps in Xamarin in under five months with 70%+ shared code; started the 2022 AI program behind TXF Intelligence.
• Maintained 99.99% uptime with no P1 security breach in eight and a half years through Big-4 security audits, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II.
• Apple Feature, iPhone App of the Day (#1 position); Inc. 5000 No. 74 (2020), listed again in 2021 and 2023; Deloitte Technology Fast 500 No. 381 (2022) and No. 235 (2023). Speaking: Google Cloud, Microsoft, Fuel Venture Capital Investor Day.
• Press: CPA Practice Advisor (2020), Refresh Miami (2022, 2023), Microsoft's Xamarin blog (2017); company coverage in TechCrunch and Fortune. App Store Best New App (2016). Ran 90% of recruiting in house.

• Architected delivery routing, accountability tracking, claims integration and e-prescribing systems on web, desktop and native iOS for a Medicare Advantage plan later acquired by Anthem.
