building · open to collab

Software engineer and founder. I build mobile apps and AI-powered platforms. Currently founding AgentPhone (phone number infrastructure for AI agents) and shipping features at Rokmetro for the Vogue app.

Now
Building AgentPhone with my co-founder (and brother) Meet. We're making phone infrastructure dead simple for the next wave of AI agents. Think: giving every AI its own phone number for calls and SMS, with a clean developer API.

On the side, still shipping production features on the Vogue app at Rokmetro. Most recently built the Met Gala livestream, which helped the app win a Webby Award. Also watching BoozeBuddy grow on its own, which is fun.
