I've spent the last five years in restaurant ordering. At Tillster, I helped lead the ordering platform behind national quick service chains through its move to multi-tenant SaaS.
Now I'm building Appetier, restaurant software with an AI agent at the center. Sous writes menu descriptions, answers reviews, keeps Google listings right, brings regulars back, and picks up the phone, all inside limits the owner sets.
The company I'm building now, and the products and teams that came before it.
Appetier is a SaaS platform for restaurants: branded ordering, apps, loyalty, and marketing, all synced to the POS. Sous, its AI agent, does the jobs owners put off until after close.
Sous answers questions from a restaurant's own sales, drafts campaigns, replies to reviews, and fixes Google listings. The owner decides how much it does alone. I design and build all of it myself.
Meet SousAt Tillster, I led engineering for the ordering platform behind national quick service brands, across web, iOS, and Android.
I helped lead its move to a shared multi-tenant SaaS platform on TypeScript, React Native, and Next.js, so a new brand launched on the same code as the rest. I grew and led an engineering organization of 40+ along the way.
At Atlas Mental Health, I led the founding engineering team building mobile, web, and cloud products for students and counselors, owning architecture, hiring, and delivery from zero to launch.
We shipped a HIPAA-compliant platform (encryption, audit logging, access controls) in under six months on React Native Web and Firebase. Event-driven patterns kept it reliable and cheap to run. We grew to 300,000+ students and counselors reached.
