Résumé

I build AI-native products and lead teams working with emerging technology. My work spans a cloud OS launched in 2008, programmable email agents, consumer games at billion-download scale, and today's agentic archives and creative tools.

I’m interested in product and R&D leadership roles where I can build hands-on, shape the product, and help a team take emerging technology into people’s lives.

Independent product development, Own practice

2026 - present · San Francisco · Paris

Designing, building and operating AI-native products with coding agents. I set the product direction, build the interaction and technical systems, and decide what the evidence supports releasing.

PartyParty: turn a Mac into a shared listening room. Native audio capture and low-latency HLS to guests' iPhones. Public beta; mixed direct/relay listeners still have a measured timing gap.
Darabiha: turn multilingual family records into an archive people can review and correct. An agentic archivist, deterministic reconciliation and audited proposals. Live and private, with a public synthetic TreeTree sample.
Retro Porting Toolkit: help people find and contribute native game ports. I built the catalogue, search and agent-operable editorial system; community contributors own the compilers and ports. Live.
Chiptunes: compose through a browser or an agent, then export the same score as a playable Game Boy ROM. Register-level sound emulation and deterministic compilation; verified in an emulator, not yet on physical hardware. Live.
ramine.net: one typed content graph, two prerendered publications, and reviewable publishing through an editor or agents. Live.
Spatial Gallery: explore this portfolio in a browser or an immersive WebXR gallery. One scene with pointer and headset interaction paths. Live.

Founder, CEO, Page.app

2025 - early 2026 · San Francisco

Prototyped an AI store manager that turned seller intent and content into transaction-ready businesses: catalog, publishing, checkout, shipping, and seller workflows assembled and operated as one system, before agents were a standard product category.

The thesis: treat AI as the operational layer of a business, not a website-generation feature, anticipating the shift from generative site tools to agents that assemble and operate commercial systems.
