Who I am

Twenty years, many roles,
one through-line: product.

Hover each circle to explore the roles and experiences in that domain.

Hover a circle

Each circle represents a core domain. Product sits at the intersection of all three.

    How I work

    What you can expect from me.

    People over process.

    Relationships and judgment matter more than rigid systems. Trust produces better outcomes than procedure.

    Create clarity.

    Clear documentation reduces risk. Decisions, roles, and reasoning get recorded — not assumed or left to memory.

    Act fast and iterate.

    Bias toward action and shipping over perfecting. Speed and learning belong together, not in sequence.

    Stay curious.

    Listen deeply and ask powerful questions. Understanding comes before recommending — always.

    Know your purpose.

    Not just goals but meaning and why — the difference between moving fast and moving well.

    Empower others.

    The goal is never dependency. I work to develop skills and judgment that outlast any engagement.

    Have fun.

    Serious work doesn't preclude joy. Craft and levity belong together — that's when the best ideas show up.
