Chicago-Based Founder, Investor, & Engineering Leader.
Hello there! I'm Kyle, a technical founder and strategic operator with 9 years of experience at the intersection of engineering, product, and growth. From scaling early-stage startups to leading high-impact teams at major organizations, I've built a career around solving complex problems with simple, elegant solutions.
I specialize in launching zero-to-one products, leading cross-functional teams, and architecting systems that scale, whether it's AI-driven tools, consumer apps, or coordination frameworks for decentralized communities. My work has powered platforms used by tens of thousands, improved operational efficiency by 30%+, and consistently delivered outcomes that blend technical excellence with business impact.
But more than anything, I'm energized by people. I believe in leading with empathy, mentoring with intention, and continuously learning alongside peers and collaborators. Whether I'm building something new, contributing to an open-source initiative, or writing on this blog, I approach each endeavor with curiosity, clarity, and a bias toward action.
This site is where I explore what I'm building, reflect on what I'm learning, and share ideas at the intersection of technology, strategy, and human-centered design.
