UsefulClever

Making useful clever things.

Work with us

I bring a unique blend of hands-on product expertise, executive leadership, deep technology insight, and a relentless focus on transforming ideas into products that succeed. Our passion is bridging the gap between impressive tech demos and impactful, viable products — discovering the practical value in the latest innovations and helping companies leverage their strengths to build something extraordinary.

The idea behind UsefulClever is simple - getting real products to real users — fast. My focus is on moving beyond prototypes and actually shipping. While I’m no longer available as a part-time CTO, I’m always happy to be a technical advisor for startups and companies that can benefit from my experience. See the about page for more details.
