Product founder who designs and ships.
I've been building things since I convinced my 9th grade biology teacher to let my friend and me mod a video game instead of doing our assignment. Only one problem: neither of us could code! We learned quickly – and later founded two startups together.
I started my first company, Cape Networks, in a basement in Cape Town. We designed and built our own hardware, sold the business to Aruba/HPE and moved to San Francisco.
My second, Hunch, has been a deep dive into AI: agents, eval systems, and what it takes to make AI products that work reliably in production.
I want to be hands-on building products. I love designing and shipping myself, and directing teams that do the same.
AI is rewriting how every product works, which means a lot of product teams are back in 0→1 mode whether they expected to be or not. Navigating ambiguity and shipping fast is where I'm at my best.
Visual AI workspace that became background AI agents. Started with Hunch, a canvas to create workflows with any AI models. Evolved into Overclock: agents that review each other's work, learn from feedback, and actually stay reliable. Hunch is still used by thousands of people – here's a demo from when we won the Latent Space AI UX award.
Viral year-in-review product. 300K users in two weeks (2024). Idea to production in 4 days, then 60+ versions in 17 days. Rebuilt it in 2025, charged for it, and drove $150K ARR to Coauthor in two weeks. Also designed and shipped a free carousel generator in less than 2 days.
Super fast data exploration for regular humans. Demo of automatic visualization, instant cross-filtering, auto-joins. More about the inspiration: Latency is the Mind Killer.
Hardware + SaaS for network performance management. Founder/CEO. Acquired by HPE/Aruba. $10M/y revenue. I'm proudest of how beloved our product was by 2,000+ customers including Microsoft, Amazon, Home Depot, and Disney. Disney even shot a testimonial video in front of the Falcon, a big moment for the little boy in me from Cape Town!
