BEFORE PAXORA.

Founded Paxora solo in July 2025: a deterministic engine for U.S. family law that any frontier model can drive via MCP. I hold a fractional executive seat at Lumbra in parallel. Twenty years inside developer platforms brought me here: Pivotal, VMware, Hiro Systems, and co-founding 8090.ai. The meta-orchestrator I am building now will compress a dozen-person company into one founder and a named-agent fleet.

2025PRESENT

FOUNDER

PAXORA · MENLO PARK · JUL 2025 → PRESENT

Bootstrapped solo in July 2025. A deterministic engine for U.S. family law, built to carry a single case across the full divorce lifecycle and every professional category that touches it: court forms and jurisdictional rules across all fifty states, proven first on real cases, with a custom MCP server fronting the engine so any frontier model can drive consumer, practitioner, and partner surfaces against the same backend. I am the only operator today, with the meta-orchestrator that will route a dozen company functions through a named-agent fleet in active build.

2025PRESENT

FRACTIONAL PRODUCT EXECUTIVE

LUMBRA · MENLO PARK · JUL 2025 → PRESENT

Operating system for agentic AI in high-consequence environments, built first for the intelligence community. I hold the executive product seat across strategic outcomes, proposals, solicitations, and the classified work that anchors customer relationships. I build the product design, the next generation of UI for AI in analyst and operator workflows, and the evaluation systems with acceptance separated from the deploy clock.
