AI Integration
Building organizational frameworks for responsible AI use and experimentation to accelerate product development.
Technical Product Leader
Over a decade of building platforms people love to use.
I started as a software engineer in 2015, but found that I loved working with people and solving their problems more than writing code. Since then I've spent ten years on the seam between engineering and product: classified federal systems, payment rails, credit card rewards platforms, and the developer tooling that makes any of it shippable.
My core principle is tasteful simplicity — using first principles to simplify complex problems through elegant technical and experience design, now accelerated to its fullest potential with AI.
