AI-Native Transformation · AdTech, Data & Platform

Technology and product leader working at the intersection of digital advertising, data, and applied AI. I have owned the engineering behind a $1M+/month programmatic ad ecosystem serving 5M+ active users, tech-led an AI-driven AdTech platform through a $5M+ raise, and today I set strategy and ship a portfolio of commercial agentic-AI products end to end: product, engineering, data, architecture, reliability, and responsible-AI governance.

Experience

Founder & Principal Engineer

October 2025 – Present

Remote

Own product and technology strategy for a four-product AI portfolio, spanning roadmap, architecture, delivery, quality, reliability, security, and unit economics, from concept to production across web, mobile, and self-hosted cloud infrastructure.
Defined the responsible-AI governance model (kill-switches, tool allowlists, credit budgets, audit trails, schema-validated outputs, content moderation) across 20+ compliance frameworks, and built the platform it runs on: Terraform/AWS (ECS Fargate, Aurora, Kong, GuardDuty) with per-tenant isolation, a zero-downtime provisioning and migration engine, and self-hosted OpenTelemetry observability across ~17 services.
Built the data and intelligence layer behind the portfolio: event and usage telemetry, per-tenant metering and cost attribution, vector/RAG grounding, and a custom LSTM forecasting model.
Lead a two-engineer team on an AI-native delivery model (agentic build loops, parallel multi-agent audits, LLM-as-judge review gates), shipping and operating four production products at a fraction of conventional headcount.

Products

ars0n

Agentic AI ad generation · ars0n.ai

Turns a product photo and a prompt into a finished video or radio ad end to end, driven by an LLM Creative Director agent and an LLM-as-judge quality loop. Runs serverless on AWS Lambda and S3 behind a metered, monetized public API.

Poundcake

Multi-platform AI nutrition coach · poundcake.ai

Log food by typing, voice, phone call, SMS, or photo. A multi-channel conversational agent and a custom LSTM forecasting model deliver personalized predictions and coaching across web and native iOS and Android.

Max

Native macOS AI assistant · trymax.io

A Swift and SwiftUI desktop assistant built on the macOS Liquid Glass design language. Ships as a signed arm64 app that self-updates through a Sparkle appcast and keeps all of its data on device.

Trivial

Native iOS and web trivia game · trivial.flayrlabs.com

A SwiftUI iOS app and a browser client sharing one game engine across solo, pass-and-play, and online multiplayer. Backed by Supabase Realtime and a Node authority service that generates questions with Gemini and grades every round server-side, with StoreKit 2 subscriptions and paid hints.

Seekl

Native iOS AI-detection game

Real or AI? Players spot AI-generated images, generate their own, and climb a leaderboard. Built entirely in Swift and SwiftUI, with every model call brokered through Supabase Edge Functions so no API keys ship in the app bundle, plus a web operator console for moderation and comps.

Flayr Studio

AI-native application platform-as-a-service · flayrstudio.ai

Generates and provisions a complete business website and back-office from a conversational prompt. Ships with an admin copilot and a bounded autonomous-agent runtime under full responsible-AI guardrails, chaos-tested at 1,000 concurrent agent runs across 100 tenants.
