Helping build products for autonomous AI systems
At MindsHub.ai, I work on products that help AI systems move beyond demos into useful workflows. The work spans agents, memory, execution, developer experience, and the product challenges that appear when AI starts interacting with real systems.
Making AI systems more useful beyond the demo.Useful, explainable, trustworthy systems
Helping organizations understand where AI can create real leverage — and what it takes for people to trust the output.
Recruiting through referrals and trust
Building better matching and referral intelligence at Inntros.
Story arc
A path through high-stakes systems.
01
Building technology for moments where seconds matter.
Worked on earthquake early warning systems where trust, reliability, and clarity matter.
02Working on products during a global public-health crisis.
Contributed to product work around COVID Exposure Notifications during one of the most complex public-health moments in recent history.
03Exploring recruiting through trust and referrals.
Working on ways AI can support better matching between people and opportunities.
04Helping make AI systems more useful.

About
I’ve always been drawn to complicated systems.
I’ve always been drawn to complicated systems.
Sometimes that meant earthquake early warning systems, where seconds matter. Other times it meant global public-health products during COVID, enterprise AI, or figuring out how intelligent systems can actually become useful in the real world.
Today, through MindsHub.ai and MindsDB, I work on AI-native products and autonomous systems — especially the product challenges around agents, memory, execution, developer experience, and trust.
Across startups, big tech, and AI companies, the thread has stayed pretty consistent:
I like building products that make complicated things feel understandable, useful, and trustworthy.
Outside of work, I’m usually thinking about product ideas, snowboarding, optimizing family travel plans, sci-fi, or trying to understand where AI is actually heading beyond the hype.

MindsHub.ai — Products for autonomous AI systems
Problem AI systems are getting more capable, but many still struggle when moving from demos into real workflows involving memory, tools, execution, and trust.
What I worked on Product work around agents, developer workflows, execution, memory, and the experience of making autonomous systems more useful.
Why it mattered The goal is to help AI systems become more practical, understandable, and useful in real-world environments.
- Product strategy for AI-native workflows
- Work around memory, execution, and developer experience
- Focus on trust, usability, and real workflows

Google — COVID Exposure Notifications
Problem Public-health teams needed technology that could scale globally while preserving user privacy.
What I worked on Product work connected to COVID Exposure Notifications across international markets and changing public-health needs.
Why it mattered Supported privacy-preserving technology during one of the most important public-health moments in recent history.

SkyAlert — Earthquake Early Warning
Problem Earthquake warning is a product problem measured in seconds.
What I worked on Worked on earthquake early warning systems and alerting experiences.
Why it mattered Shaped how I think about trust, clarity, and reliability in products.
Founder · AI · Trust networks
Inntros — Recruiting through referrals and trust
Problem Hiring often feels noisy, transactional, and low-trust.
What I worked on Exploring how referrals, trust networks, and AI can support better matching.
Why it mattered Hiring should feel more human and more intelligent.

Proof of building
A few glimpses of the systems, workflows, and product problems I enjoy working on.
agent workflowsplanning
Thinking through how agents plan, use tools, inspect work, and produce useful outputs.
product systemstrust
Designing product experiences around memory, credentials, execution, logs, and trust.
high-stakes signalsdecisions
From earthquake alerts to AI systems, I’m interested in how signals become decisions.
What I believe
Opinionated product instincts.
AI shouldn’t just answer questions.
It should help people investigate.
Intelligence beats complexity.
Great products absorb complexity instead of handing it to the user.
Trust is a feature.
People need to understand what happened, why it happened, and whether they can rely on it.
Great PMs build.
Modern product leaders should prototype, test, prompt, debug, write, demo, and ship.
AI should make people more powerful.
The best systems amplify human judgment.
Fun matters.
Great products create curiosity and make people want to come back.

The future of BI is not dashboards
Dashboards tell you what someone already thought to measure. Agents help investigate what you did not know to ask.
Why AI agents need memory
Without memory, agents are clever calculators. With memory, they become systems that learn context.
Trust, explainability, and enterprise AI
Enterprise AI has to be inspectable, governable, secure, and explainable.
Founder lessons from earthquake alerts
When seconds matter, reliability, clarity, and trust stop being abstractions.
The PM as builder
The best product leaders operate like creative technologists: they prototype, test, write, demo, and ship.
Why agent infrastructure matters
Useful agent products need portability, observability, model choice, and systems that keep running.
Talks, demos, and conversations
I translate complex technology into stories people can understand.
I enjoy rooms where product strategy, technical reality, customer problems, and storytelling all have to meet. I’ve hosted and supported webinars, product demos, enterprise sessions, and community conversations around AI agents, data, trust, and product strategy.
