Why I'm Different
I'm not your typical developer. I'm a Licensed Master Plumber who built 400-unit apartment complexes for 20 years before discovering AI could unlock an entirely new career. I'm a business owner who served 6,000+ customers and managed revenue, P&L, and teams. Now I'm an AI-augmented developer who ships production code 10x faster than traditional methods.
I bring systems thinking from two decades of mastering complex physical systems, business acumen from running a successful company, and cutting-edge AI tool expertise across 15+ platforms. I've built 6 production projects—from enterprise SEO sites to AI music artists—all while running my plumbing business.
What I'm Looking For
- Product Manager or Solutions Architect roles at top AI companies
- Teams building AI developer tools or platforms
- Companies that value unique perspectives and rapid execution
- Remote or hybrid flexibility (Colorado based)
What I Bring
- Real-world AI tool expertise (15+ platforms, daily use)
- 6 production projects proving execution ability
- Business owner perspective on ROI and customer value
- Systems thinking honed over 20 years of complex projects

Built by Builders - It Runs in the Family
Two dads, two completely different paths, one common thread: mastering complex systems. I got the best of both worlds.
Tom
The Dad Who Raised Me
Military Veteran (E7) | Systems Security Specialist | Hot Rod Builder
His Path:
- 20 Years Military Police - Served and led at E7 rank
- Military Contractor - Now upgrading gate security systems (AI-impacted tech)
- Builds Hot Rods - Mechanical mastery and hands-on craftsmanship
What He Taught Me:
- ✓ Discipline and precision (military training)
- ✓ Systems thinking and security mindset
- ✓ Mechanical mastery - how to BUILD things right
- ✓ Work ethic and attention to detail
- ✓ How to be a man and a father
"The hands-on builder who taught me how to work with my hands and think like a soldier"
Clint Wooton
My Biological Dad
Senior Product Manager | Former Amazon | 20+ Years Experience
His Path:
- Former Amazon MCF Product Manager - Led multi-channel fulfillment initiatives
- 20+ Years Product Leadership - Senior PM/CPO across industries
- Building AI Projects - Like father, like son—using AI to build too
What He Taught Me:
- ✓ Business strategy and product thinking
- ✓ Understanding customer value and ROI
- ✓ Professional communication and leadership
- ✓ How to build businesses, not just products
- ✓ "I built his portfolio, he taught me business"
One taught me how to build with my hands and think like a soldier. The other taught me how to build businesses and think like a product manager. Together, they're why I can build 400-unit plumbing systems AND AI-powered applications.🇺🇸 Lucky to have both. 🚀
