01.About Me

I build the systems that make AI actually work in production. Right now, I'm building AppGen, a coding agent that turns natural language into fully deployed applications. Describe what you want, and it writes, builds, and ships production-ready code autonomously.

Over 12 years, I've gone from writing payment middleware for banks in Fiji to architecting AI Agent platforms that power enterprise workflows at scale. I've been a founding engineer, a sole backend developer, and now I lead engineering teams shipping products used by real businesses every day.

At AI Squared, I architected an end-to-end AI platform. Visual workflow builders, Agent-to-Agent communication protocols, RAG pipelines, and a full Reverse ETL engine with 30+ data connectors. Before that, I built real-time CDPs processing millions of customer events, designed OAuth systems securing healthcare data for 50+ hospitals, and wrote ISO-8583 financial middleware from scratch.

I think in systems, ship in weeks, and write code in Ruby, Python, and Java. Whatever the problem demands. If you need someone who can design the architecture, build the core engine, and lead the team that scales it, let's talk.
