Currently Building
After twenty years running pro formas — deal after deal, version after version — I started building what I wished existed. underwrite.io is a mobile-first, AI-assisted underwriting platform for commercial multifamily. It replaces Excel-based pro formas with a tool fast enough for napkin math and detailed enough for the IC.
In live beta with developer and broker testers across the Pacific Northwest.
This has been a second education. Solo founder shipping production software where the AI is the product — autofill, market research, and analytical reasoning run on agentic workflows orchestrated through the Anthropic Claude API. The stack: React, TypeScript, Supabase, Claude API.
Sounding Labs LLC is the parent entity, also home to closedbook.io.

Experience
Built underwrite.io, a mobile-first AI-assisted underwriting platform for commercial real estate, now in live beta: agentic workflows on the Anthropic Claude API for market research, comparables, 10-year pro forma generation, goal-seek solving, sensitivity testing, and IC-ready outputs. Owns the full product, engineering, and go-to-market stack. Sounding Labs LLC also owns closedbook.io, a CRE deal intelligence product that captures in-contract deal data at PSA signing.
CRE advisory: underwriting, due diligence, and feasibility; consultant management and municipal liaison.
Led Pacific Northwest industrial, office, and build-to-suit development from sourcing through disposition. For Blue Origin's proposed 750,000 SF campus, negotiated the build-to-suit lease and a phased, tenant-funded predevelopment agreement (~$200M schedule of values), renegotiated the ground lease, and won landowner approval for a use outside the landowner's master plan. Co-led delivery of Amazon's Pasco fulfillment campus (Projects Oyster and Pearl, 2.13M SF on 266 acres). Ran nine acquisition and development pursuits in one year. Wrote the LOI structure one seller adopted as the rebid template for the final three bidders, and walked from another deal in under three weeks, having spent under $25K, when diligence surfaced ~$1.5M in gaps. Delivered Mercer Park (155,000 SF office, sold to Riot Games at ~8x equity multiple). Capitalized 65 Horton (126,646 SF multi-story industrial, SoDo) with GTIS Partners. Built Ryan's first co-GP waterfall.
Negotiated easements and development agreements for mixed-use and affordable projects; led LIHTC and grant-funded structuring, GMP negotiation, and entitlement.
Negotiated a right-of-way phasing and cost-sharing agreement with the City on The Current (formerly Alexan Shoreline). Its unforeseen-conditions protection later shifted the cost of unknown subsurface conditions off TCR, and its terms carried into linked agreements with Seattle Public Utilities, WSDOT, and neighboring developers. Led the Goldman Sachs capital-partner relationship on Zephyr on the Park (formerly Alexan Central Park; 193 units, Redmond), NAIOP Multi-Family Residential Urban Development of the Year 2021. ~$280M development volume across land acquisition, debt/equity structuring, and IC memos.
Launched the firm's development arm, focused on high-performance and net-zero projects.
Premier on Pine: a 40-story, 386-unit tower in Seattle with a $161.2M development budget, 90% TIAA-CREF equity and a $93M Pacific Life construction loan; NAIOP High-Rise Multifamily Development of the Year 2015; LEED Silver. True North Apartments: 286 units in South Lake Union with Florida State Board of Administration equity; LEED Silver; Multifamily Executive Awards Merit Winner.
Managed ~$100M of urban mixed-use development, including entitlement and utility and infrastructure negotiations with public agencies and franchise utilities.
