Serene Labs (Dallas, TX). Through Serene Labs I lead technology for owners and operators as a fractional CTO, take repeated work off their team's week, and build, audit or rebuild products. I have worked as fractional CTO on an AI and maps mobile assistant MVP, as fractional technical product lead on a v1 water-monitoring dashboard for industrial controller data and as embedded AI program lead for a B2B SaaS firm. I am working as technical lead on a marketplace's web platform rebuild, and as senior technical lead for a mid-market operator that does not need a full-time CTO. Other work: a freight platform, an order-email processor, an invoice reconciliation and a pre-launch code review. I start with discovery, write the scope and an acceptance test, build one accepted piece at a time and keep a person approving what matters. I am one accountable lead on your project. I use generative AI on client work and tell clients so before we start. I also build Serenity and Sous, my own AI agent systems. Neither is set up for clients yet.

FancyAI (Dallas, TX). The problem was one AI product that had to run parallel Claude and GPT pipelines reliably across 18 distinct task types. I owned the architecture, the AI pipelines, the backend, the frontend and the deployment, and ran the pipelines with a queue, retries and failure handling. I took it from zero to 50+ companies with under 3% churn.
