Resume

Product Leader & AI-Native Engineer

[email protected] cal.com/dawsonpeck dawsonpeck.com

A hybrid builder-operator sitting at the intersection of product, engineering, and go-to-market. I have scaled SaaS companies from zero to millions in ARR, managed product roadmaps, and built outbound sales systems from scratch. Today, I operate as an AI-native full-stack engineer — leveraging tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and MCP agent workflows to architect, write, and ship production applications (TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, AWS) at a fraction of the traditional cost and time. I optimize for building things that actually work in the real world.
