Founder · Product builder · Advisor
From deciding what to build to figuring out how to finance it. I build Alvin and take on a small number of fractional product and fundraising advisory engagements.
What I do
For founder-led software companies with engineering capacity but no senior product leader yet. I help decide what should be built, turn priorities into clear requirements and keep execution focused on the highest-value work.
Typically 5–10 hours per week.

Project-based or structured around a defined fundraising period.
