About Me

Bio

I am an Engineering Lead and Staff Engineer at Flyntlok, leading the CRM team for a dealer-management platform. I've spent over ten years building modern, scalable, cloud-native e-commerce and fintech systems at Wayfair, ButcherBox and startups of all sizes.

Right now I focus on AI-native product and development: LangSmith-powered CRM campaigns, MCP servers and custom agent skills. I manage and mentor engineers, own roadmaps and KPIs, and work directly with customers.
