Hello, I'm

Tech Leader. Startup Builder. AI Strategist.

Get to Know Me
Building Teams That Build Great Things
I believe the best technology comes from empowered teams with clear purpose. My career has been defined by one consistent thread: bringing people together around hard problems and creating the conditions for breakthrough work.
From scaling engineering organizations at venture-backed startups to leading AI initiatives at enterprise scale, I've learned that technical excellence and human-centered leadership aren't just compatible — they're inseparable. The most impactful products I've shipped started with trust, psychological safety, and a relentless focus on the user.
Today, I'm particularly energized by the intersection of AI and product development. I help teams move beyond the hype to build AI-powered products that deliver real, measurable value — with responsible practices baked in from day one.
