Product Engineer. I build products from 0→1.

I work best while a product is still taking shape. I learn the market and user problem, talk with the people involved, use the available data, build the first useful version, and improve it through real use.

Recent work:

- Mobius: built a modular workspace I use across products and workflows to keep agents, modules, status, editing, and chat together: https://alexhorton.dev/project-mobius-frameworks - Energy Scout: built solar and battery decision tools using utility rates, incentives, quote data, and household goals: https://alexhorton.dev/project-energy-scout - Real Estate Leasing Engine: built a leasing system for two California apartment communities that connects listings, lead sources, follow-up, and reporting: https://alexhorton.dev/project-real-estate-lead-engine - Bitcoin ML: built research tools to test market signals with walk-forward evaluation, baselines, and Monte Carlo checks: https://bitcoinmachinelearning.com

I'm looking for Product Engineer Founding Product Engineer, or Forward Deployed roles where research, product judgment, and hands-on building are part of the same job. I'm especially interested in energy, housing, land, climate, environmental decision tools, and products tied to physical systems. I'm open to other domains where this way of working would be useful.
