About me

Founder and CEO of Nicia AI, consultant, and fractional CTO. I build AI systems that actually solve problems, engineer organizations for the age of automation, and ensure your software is a delight, not a disaster. I’ve built large-scale platforms for scientific publishing, dozens of startup MVPs, and everything in between.

I'm available for quick calls or long-term engagements. You can book a call with me directly on my calendar below, the first call is free. Who knows, maybe I can solve your problem on the first call and we can get on to bigger and better things together.
