AI-Native Transformation · AdTech, Data & Platform
Technology and product leader working at the intersection of digital advertising, data, and applied AI. I have owned the engineering behind a $1M+/month programmatic ad ecosystem serving 5M+ active users, tech-led an AI-driven AdTech platform through a $5M+ raise, and today I set strategy and ship a portfolio of commercial agentic-AI products end to end: product, engineering, data, architecture, reliability, and responsible-AI governance.

Experience
Founder & Principal Engineer
October 2025 – Present
Remote
- Own product and technology strategy for a four-product AI portfolio, spanning roadmap, architecture, delivery, quality, reliability, security, and unit economics, from concept to production across web, mobile, and self-hosted cloud infrastructure.
- Defined the responsible-AI governance model (kill-switches, tool allowlists, credit budgets, audit trails, schema-validated outputs, content moderation) across 20+ compliance frameworks, and built the platform it runs on: Terraform/AWS (ECS Fargate, Aurora, Kong, GuardDuty) with per-tenant isolation, a zero-downtime provisioning and migration engine, and self-hosted OpenTelemetry observability across ~17 services.
- Built the data and intelligence layer behind the portfolio: event and usage telemetry, per-tenant metering and cost attribution, vector/RAG grounding, and a custom LSTM forecasting model.
- Lead a two-engineer team on an AI-native delivery model (agentic build loops, parallel multi-agent audits, LLM-as-judge review gates), shipping and operating four production products at a fraction of conventional headcount.

Products
ars0n
Agentic AI ad generation · ars0n.ai
Turns a product photo and a prompt into a finished video or radio ad end to end, driven by an LLM Creative Director agent and an LLM-as-judge quality loop. Runs serverless on AWS Lambda and S3 behind a metered, monetized public API.
Poundcake

Trivial
Native iOS and web trivia game · trivial.flayrlabs.com
A SwiftUI iOS app and a browser client sharing one game engine across solo, pass-and-play, and online multiplayer. Backed by Supabase Realtime and a Node authority service that generates questions with Gemini and grades every round server-side, with StoreKit 2 subscriptions and paid hints.
Seekl
Native iOS AI-detection game
Real or AI? Players spot AI-generated images, generate their own, and climb a leaderboard. Built entirely in Swift and SwiftUI, with every model call brokered through Supabase Edge Functions so no API keys ship in the app bundle, plus a web operator console for moderation and comps.
Flayr Studio
