Timeline
Where I've shipped
NOW
Tunic Labs
Remote · Atlanta — Software studio (est. 2024) building and operating our own products: Vlipsy, Clipbox & Roomcaster.
- Co-founded and scaled Vlipsy (Techstars Atlanta '17), a short-form video platform used by millions of people monthly, leading a remote team of six across product and infrastructure.
- Turned Vlipsy cash-flow positive after launching a subscription model, with steady month-over-month growth.
- Building Vlipsy's AI layer: enriched metadata on every clip, vector embeddings for semantic search, and a soon-to-launch MCP server so creators can use Vlipsy directly inside their editors and AI workflows.
- Stood up an AI-driven growth engine — automated SEO/AEO, content pipelines, and funnel & retention analysis — so a small team punches well above its weight on go-to-market.
- Shipped Clipbox and Roomcaster on a modern Next.js / serverless stack, including native Roku and Google TV apps.
