/ about
A rare mix of what to build and how to deliver.
Product leader and builder with 10+ years building and scaling 0→1 products across AI, cloud platforms, and high-stakes regulated environments. I drive product vision, roadmap, and execution for tools used by millions, with a metrics-obsessed approach to growth, funnel optimization, and user success.
Hands-on with emerging AI, repo-native execution fabrics, and deterministic runtime systems. Known for rapid iteration, decisive pivots, and obsessive user research across diverse audiences. Passionate about empowering people, increasing accessibility, and building technology advancements.
