Software systems thatremove operationalfriction.
I design and build the APIs, internal tools, and AI workflows that connect a business's daily operations, then hand off systems your team can run without me.
Engineering for connected systems and automation.
I work like a product-minded partner: scope the highest-value piece first, build it cleanly, and hand off something your team can run.
API and Integration Engineering
When partner integrations break silently, I rebuild them into systems your team can trust and support.
AI Automation and Agent Workflows
When an AI idea has no concrete workflow yet, I turn it into a working, guardrailed prototype.
Internal Tools and Workflow Automation
When teams run critical work through spreadsheets and copy-paste, I replace it with a tool that just works.
Engineering Reliability and Delivery
When deployments are inconsistent and failures are hard to trace, I make production behavior visible again.
Technical Prototyping and Product Development
When a product idea needs proof before a full build, I deliver a working prototype that answers the question.
A clear path from problem to working software.
Scope stays tight, your involvement stays clear, and validation stays close to the actual workflow.
Discover
I clarify the workflow, system boundaries, users, and business pressure behind the request.
Scope the highest-value piece
I choose the smallest scope that can prove value without creating unnecessary complexity.
Build
I implement the system with readable code, practical documentation, and visible progress.
Hand off
I deliver a clean handoff, or keep supporting the system through launch and iteration.
Projects with a clear owner and valuable first scope.
- • There is a specific operational or technical problem.
- • The problem creates measurable cost, risk, or delay.
- • An internal owner can clarify requirements and review progress.
- • Maintainability, documentation, and supportability matter.
- • The first phase can start small and prove value quickly.
Aaron S.
I'm a software engineer with an enterprise background — API design, partner and payment integrations, and the operational reliability work (observability, tracing, CI/CD) that keeps distributed systems running under real load. Along the way I've built internal developer tools and chat-based automation that cut manual lookups and sped up onboarding. Subset Ventures is where I take that on directly: one engagement at a time, scoped small enough to ship something real and easy to support, delivered so your team owns it outright.
Start with what matters most.
Bring a workflow, integration, automation idea, or reliability problem. Leave with a clear plan for practical execution.
