Architecting AI-native workflows for product teams.

The ThinkSphere Approach

Most product failures aren't code failures—they are system failures. Misaligned incentives, vague strategies, or disconnected feedback loops.

My background in Civil Engineering taught me that you can't hack a foundation. I bring that same structural rigor to software. I don't just ship features; I design the decision-making engines that allow teams to ship value autonomously.
