I learn by building.

I’m a product and marketing operator who got tired of watching AI change the work from the sidelines. Arc Labs is where I build the proof: software, agent systems, and products grounded in real life.

I do the work around a full-time job and family life. That constraint shapes the studio: clear strategy, small teams, practical systems, and products that have to earn their place.

THE JOURNEY SO FAR

Six stops. One operating story.

Return to any scene to replay the moment behind the work.

How I work

A small studio with an always-on teammate.

My laptop and phone are the front end. A Mac mini keeps the repos, agents, checks, and private knowledge system moving in the background. I keep the strategy, taste, and final decisions human.

Human
Strategy, judgment, taste
Agents
Scoped roles, handoffs, review
Mac mini
Long-running studio workflows

Product work, AI systems, or something useful worth building.

I’m interested in roles and collaborations where strategy, product judgment, and hands-on building meet.
