Understand the problem.
Build the right product.

I’m Teddy, a product-minded engineer, technical leader, and co-founder of Inflection Studio. I help teams decide what matters, turn ideas into useful products, and build the systems behind them.

I connect user needs and business goals with hands-on engineering—from shaping an idea and weighing tradeoffs to getting it into people’s hands.

My approach
Product judgment. Engineering depth.

Where I can help

Good product decisions.
Strong technical foundations.

The question is what will help users and the business—and what it will take to deliver it well.

01

Shape the product

Get clear on who we are building for, what they need, and what would make a difference to the business. Challenge assumptions, narrow the scope, and decide what to learn or build next.

02

Make the technology fit

Choose an approach that fits the product, the team, and the constraints. Stay close to implementation, from backend systems and integrations to the details that make a product dependable.

Move delivery forward

Connect clients, product, and engineering around clear priorities. My recent work includes leading projects and managing client relationships alongside hands-on technical delivery.

Ways to work together

A clear brief.
A shared direction.

The starting point can be a specific decision, a product to deliver, or a team looking for its next colleague.

01 / Consulting

Clarity, then delivery.

Bring me in to help frame a product problem, assess a technical approach, or move an implementation forward. We can agree on the question to answer, the work to do, and a useful handover for your team.

02 / Joining a team

Ownership beyond the code.

I’m interested in engineering and technical leadership roles where I can help shape the product as well as build it. I value close collaboration with product and design, thoughtful decisions, and responsibility for what reaches users.

Life outside work

There's more to life
than the next deadline.

Gym sessions, runs, and time outdoors are part of my week. So are the slower moments in between. This space is for that side of life, too.

Life beyond work ↗
Away from the screen

A few more reps.
A few more miles.
Room to breathe.

In the gym. On the trail. Off the clock.
