Martin.

VP, Senior Staff Engineer AI Startup Founder

I work at the intersection of enterprise technology and useful AI—bringing an engineer’s discipline to complex systems, and a founder’s curiosity to what comes next.

01 / Perspective

Build for the
real world.

I’m an enterprise technology engineer with a background in endpoint management, platform operations, and the careful work of making change stick. My focus spans Windows and Apple fleets, security and access workflows, and the automation that helps teams operate with confidence.

Alongside my corporate role, I founded Martin AI Labs to explore practical, human-centered applications of AI. That venture is independent of my employment; the two roles are separate.

Interested in thoughtful engineering and useful technology—not hype for its own sake.

02 / Experience
