Where I’ve worked, what’s come out of it

Three projects I’d show first, then every role I’ve had.

The whole record

2015 — now

Every project hangs off the job it came from. Open a role for the context, open a shipped thing for the full story — as many at once as you like.

Role

I led the development team behind MonsterInsights, shipping plugins with 2M+ combined active installs and owning the architecture for our next-gen AI analytics assistant: a natural-language interface over Google Analytics data built on Python, LangSmith, and Gemini. I drove the Laravel migration and the Vue 3 rewrite, cut feature development time by 30%, and pushed the team onto an AI-native workflow with coding agents, directing and reviewing about 90% of shipped code.

Along the way, a cross-sell plugin I designed pulled a 25% take rate on Black Friday.

Ask your analytics a question.

AI-powered natural language queries that let site owners ask about their traffic in plain English instead of learning a reporting UI.

  • Ships inside a plugin that updates unattended on 3M+ sites: no breaking changes allowed.
  • Answers have to be simple and true at once; a confident wrong number is worse than no answer.
