[ THE NON-LINEAR VERSION ]
Mechanical engineering to production software to AI search. Not a master plan, but a consistent preference for difficult problems and tools that make them legible.
Current chapter: AI search at BrightEdgeMechanical engineering taught me to think in systems: how parts interact, where failure travels, and how to break a difficult problem down. Software became the better medium for applying it.
Mindfire turned learning into production: client requirements, real users, browser problems, and shipping across stacks. It made adaptability more useful than loyalty to any one tool.
At BrightEdge, the work moved from enterprise SEO systems into AI-search intelligence as search itself moved from ranked links to generated answers.
Built backend services, data workflows, customer integrations, and parts of the wider SEO platform.
Builds AI-search intelligence that turns model outputs, citations, and brand signals into useful product decisions.
