I take products from prototype to success.
I started in front-end. Over time I took on product architecture, back-end and infrastructure on AWS. These days I lead a team, but I still write code myself.
My startup, FreakoutAI, does AI 3D generation and immersive showrooms for online stores. I have been building it since the first commit and own every technical decision.
