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 run XPRT Solutions, where I built a live drone-mapping SaaS platform solo: a full-stack app with AI photo analysis, GPU photogrammetry into 3D models, an interactive viewer, and Stripe billing. I flew the first autonomous survey mission myself and ran a multi-agent AI research cluster to pressure-test new product directions.

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.
