About me.

Systems engineer, founder, FAA-certified drone pilot, and the guy who built an entire SaaS platform in a weekend.

I use AI as a force multiplier to build production-grade systems at startup speed.

Based in Youngstown, Ohio — a city that knows what it means to rebuild. I take that same energy into everything I build. No fluff. No meetings that could have been emails. Just working software, deployed and live.

By day, I'm a Systems Integration Engineer at Window Depot USA, connecting 86 independent dealer locations through automated workflows, CRM pipelines, and marketing infrastructure. I've built the systems that keep a national home improvement brand running at scale.

By night, I'm building XPRT Solutions — a drone mapping SaaS platform and an American-made NDAA-compliant drone hardware company. I built the entire SaaS platform in 4 days, flew the first autonomous survey mission, and processed real aerial imagery into 3D models. Then I deployed a 9-agent AI research cluster to plan the hardware company. All in one weekend.

I'm finishing my B.S. in General Education at Youngstown State University — an interdisciplinary degree that reflects how I think. I don't stay in one lane. I connect dots across software, hardware, business, aviation, and AI.

The common thread: I build things that work, fast, and I ship them to the real world. Not wireframes. Not pitch decks. Working systems that people use today.

How I think.

Ship, don't plan

A working prototype beats a perfect pitch deck. Every time.

AI is a weapon, not a crutch

I don't use AI to avoid thinking. I use it to think at 10x speed and build at 100x.

Domain knowledge is the moat

The code is the easy part. Understanding what drone pilots actually need — that's the hard part. I do both.
