At Streamio AI, I designed and shipped a production Electron + React + TypeScript desktop application with real-time AI screen analysis, a multi-agent orchestration framework, and a cross-platform iOS streaming app \u2014 handling everything from customer discovery interviews to code signing and distribution. In both cases I owned product strategy, technical architecture, and iterative refinement based on direct user feedback. Earlier in my career at Intuit, I delivered the ICE Self-Service platform (DevPortal, GitOps config, ICE Playground) as a net-new 0-to-1 internal developer product, reducing onboarding from 2\u20133 weeks to minutes and scaling to 675M+ engagements in FY23."
