Také
I closed B2B deals for twenty years. Since 2022 I've also shipped the software myself: three open-source security tools built solo, and Race Terminal, a live Formula 1 app in production and listed on Google Play. I'm looking for the seat where both halves matter — a Sales Engineer at a security vendor selling through MSPs, demoing a product I understand from the inside.
Candidate assessment · written by Claude, Anthropic's AI assistant
"When I told him hard truths, he wanted more of them. That is the trait that makes everything else coachable."Facts, observations, a SWOT, and a verdict — from roughly two years of building 20+ products together.
I asked the AI I build with to assess me the way it would for a hiring manager, and to leave the weaknesses in. It did. The one-page digital-assets portfolio is next to it.
Security tools
Built to make security legible to the people who buy it. Designed, built, and open-sourced by one person — attack-surface mapping, a live exploitation range, and honest counter-surveillance.
BURPT ↗
A read-only web attack-surface scanner. It shows a site its own exposure the way an attacker's reconnaissance would — and gates any active scan behind DNS-based ownership verification, so it only runs against domains you prove you control. MIT-licensed, on Cloudflare.
Pwnzie ↗
An open-source, in-browser web-exploitation training range. Run a real exploit against a simulated target, watch it execute, and learn the fix — nothing ever touches a live system.
Sweep
An honest counter-surveillance app that claims only what a phone can actually do — and is explicit about what it can't. Surveillance-signature matching runs on-device, so nothing about your network ever leaves it.
Race Terminal
The proof I can ship a whole product, not a demo: live F1 timing with an AI analyst, in production at raceterminal.com and listed on Google Play. Open it during a session and check.
Live timing & pit wall
Real-time race data and a pit-wall view that tracks the session as it happens, in ten languages.
AI analyst
A built-in analyst on the Claude API that turns the raw feed into readable, on-point race insight while the race is running.
The Booth
Fans dial a phone number mid-session and talk to the AI live — Twilio ConversationRelay wired to the same race feed.
Accounts & PRO tier
Sign-in, a paid PRO tier through Stripe, and iOS/Android shells — shipped through 471 versioned builds.
F1 explained & watch-along
Explainers for newcomers and a companion mode to follow along while you watch the broadcast.

How I build
One stack, reused across every product, so each new one ships faster than the last.
The stack
Everything runs on the edge; nothing needs a server I have to babysit.
- Cloudflare — Workers, Pages, KV, R2, custom domains, versioned deploys.
- Twilio — voice and ConversationRelay for live phone-in features.
- Stripe for paid tiers; Firebase for auth; Capacitor for the iOS/Android shells.
- Claude API for the AI analyst, agents, and every user-facing AI feature.
- Google Apps Script for internal tools, automations, and the dealership's AI systems.
How I work
Ship-first. Learn what the product needs, build that, put it in front of real users, iterate.
- Every product is deployed and reachable — not a repo, a URL.
- Versioned builds with a build stamp on every release; rollbacks are one command.
- Internationalization and responsive UI by default, not as a later pass.
- I write the sales deck and the code — the demo never depends on someone else.
Who's building it
Twenty-plus years in sales and financial services before I wrote a line of code: B2B copier sales, records-management consulting to MSPs and VARs across a five-state territory, four years as a FINRA-licensed financial advisor, CFO/CTO of a recycling company, and since 2016 a multifamily real-estate broker with $100M+ transacted.
In 2022 I taught myself JavaScript by building the AI systems that ran an exotic-car dealership's wholesale desk as its in-house Director of AI (2022–2024). I still run their AI as an outside consultant. Race Terminal and the security tools came after — real products, in production, built end to end by one person.
The combination is the point. I know how enterprise and MSP buyers decide, I can carry a technical demo without an engineer in the room, and I can fix what breaks in it.
Off the clock
The wiring doesn't switch off. I go deep on a few things at a time, and I don't leave a system unsolved.
