1. Founder & CEO

   Warpfactor

   Jun 2025 — Present · Austin, TX, US

   I co-founded Warpfactor with Dr. Raymond Westwater to solve one of the most painful and under-addressed problems in modern web infrastructure: performance. Our platform acts like a compiler for websites — automatically transforming slow, bloated pages into lightning-fast, SEO-optimized versions that load in under one second, with no code changes required.As CEO, I wear two hats: Technical leadership — I architect the system and have written much of the core codebase. Drawing on my background in systems engineering and video compression, I’ve designed novel approaches to web performance optimization. Go-to-market leadership — I’ve led partnerships, early sales efforts, and business development — including securing a strategic deal to distribute Warpfactor through a network of over agencies.The vision for Warpfactor is simple:You push a button. Your website comes out the other side — not just fast, but warpspeed.We’re currently in pre-launch with working prototypes and early design partners.Looking to connect with others working at the intersection of systems, performance, AI, and product velocity.
