What I do

A little about the work

Web Development Manager

I lead web dev and design at DISCO — owning csdisco.com end-to-end and partnering with MarOps on the CRM and marketing-automation integrations behind it. In my first six months: 47% conversion growth, 41% session growth, and a doubled CVR on the Corporate audience.

AI / Agentic Systems Builder

I build agentic AI features at DISCO — most recently a Claude-powered brand-voice and SME-routing engine on a custom MCP implementation inside Workato. Deterministic IO around the LLM, full audit trail, and a policy layer non-engineers can own.

Cofounder & Developer

I cofounded Swip Tools — multi-tenant manufacturing intelligence SaaS giving factory operators live hour-by-hour targets, part-weighted standards, and loss analysis. From design system, marketing site, admin, and operator UI - we bootstrapped it all on Astro 5, TanStack Start, Drizzle, and Cloudflare Workers.

FAQ

Frequently asked

I'm Manager of Web Development & Design at DISCO (NYSE: LAW). I own csdisco.com end-to-end — growth strategy, ABM personalization, design workflow, front-end stack — lead a cross-functional team of developers and designers, and sit on the AI team building agentic AI features for marketing and sales. The work lives at the seam of marketing engineering, design leadership, and AI integration.
Swip Tools is the manufacturing-intelligence SaaS I co-founded. It delivers live hour-by-hour targets, part-weighted standards, and loss analysis to factory operators running mixed-model production cells. I work with my cofounder on product strategy, customer discovery, and design — and contribute to the marketing site, design system, admin, and operator UI on Astro 5, React 19, TanStack Start, Drizzle ORM, and Cloudflare Workers.
I treat AI as leverage for humans, not a substitute for them. The most interesting work in agentic systems isn't at the model and isn't at the UI — it's at the seam between them, where accountability, policy, and audit trail actually live. I write about this on the blog, most recently in "Humans First in the AI Era," a response to Zack Exley's series on AI and the economy.
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AIO (AI Optimization) are the discipline of designing content and software so that AI systems represent your brand correctly. Think SEO, but for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and the next generation of AI search. Every B2B brand is about to discover that the AI layer is a primary distribution channel — and most of them aren't ready. A lot of my current work at DISCO sits here.
Sideways. I started in international education, running study-abroad programs across Spain, Thailand, and Costa Rica, and lived in Lleida and San José along the way. The design and code came later — first at Hero Digital on a contract for Apple's Genius Bar, then leading front-end and UI design at a small agency, then DISCO. The non-engineering chapters are why I tend to think about software as a relationship problem first and a technology problem second.
Through 1:1s, structured goal-setting, and what I think of as a "growth partnership" model — agreeing with each person on the skills they want to grow into, then routing real work toward those skills. I try to keep the decision about AI tooling separate from the decision about who's on the team; the moment those land on the same line of the spreadsheet, you've stopped leading the people in front of you.
TypeScript and Python. React and Astro on the front-end, Drizzle + Postgres on the back, Claude + MCP for AI, Cloudflare Workers for infra. Full list on the About page.
I'm heads-down at DISCO on web, design, and AI integration. Otherwise, I'd love to learn about what you're working on around GEO/AIO strategy, agentic architecture, or marketing-engineering ops. The contact form is the best way to reach me.
