About

I run Skcript, where we create products that bring clarity to work: – FeatureOS: Support Intelligence Layer for SaaS teams. – S1 EDGE: Private AI automation for enterprises. – Knol: AI-first internal support assistant. What drives me: • Building with Apple-level taste and clarity. • Shipping faster than incumbents—speed as a moat. • Designing AI-native workflows that go beyond chat to create leverage. • Scaling companies with functional, founder-led teams. I love speaking with founders, and builders who believe in taste, clarity, and speed as their unfair advantages. If that’s you, let’s talk.
