I build AI systems
that run businesses.

Founder of arugami. I spent years in the restaurant industry before I ever wrote a line of code. That background taught me what businesses actually need, not what looks good in a demo. Now I build autonomous AI infrastructure for local businesses in North Jersey. Real clients, real operations, running every day.

How We Can Work Together
Consulting
I sit with you, figure out where AI actually makes sense for your business, and then I build it. You get a system, not a slideshow.
Speaking
Talks on agentic AI, building for local business, and what it actually takes to ship real products. Not theory. All from experience.
Workshops
Hands on sessions where your team walks away understanding what AI can do for your operations. Built around your business, not a generic curriculum.
About

I started in restaurants. Spent years as a server, bartender, manager. I saw firsthand what local businesses struggle with every day and eventually started building solutions for them. That path took me through marketing, content production, and finally into writing code and designing AI systems.


arugami is what came out of all of that. Two North Jersey businesses run on it today. Everything I build is in production and handling real customer interactions right now.


Based in North Jersey. Always open to talking with founders, operators, and anyone serious about putting AI to work.
