I help startups start up. I work with zero-to-one companies that are funded by The GP to bootstrap their engineering organizations and products. This includes building prototypes / proof-of-concepts / MVPs while validating our work with early customers. I also help founders build their first engineering team by finding just the right combination of people and technical skills to build their product.

I dive deep into new industries to learn the unique challenges of launching products in a new space, whether that is Public Health, Crypto, or AI. I understand the various challenges that a founder faces as they build their company, and I do whatever is necessary to help.

Built and incubated Aqua inside The General Partnership. It started as an initial proof-of-concept of a marketplace for NFT-based game tokens. My work from zero to one included building a data ingestion pipeline from blockchains like Immutable to load into a database and search engine, and building the UI for a faceted search with a designer. In order to spin out Aqua into its own company, I then helped hire the CTO and a strong founding engineering team, and established development practices to turn the POC into a robust consumer site. Worked with product managers, data scientists, and CTO to explore new markets.

Worked with founders to explore markets by building prototypes and trying to find product market fit. Built mini-products around bio-security such as tracking COVID infections within an organization, manage sequencing of genes from COVID samples, visualizing infection rates over time, etc. Helped hire the initial founding team and worked with data scientists to help communicate insights from available data with various data visualizations.
