Building things, thinking deeply, writing occasionally

Background

I spend my time working on interesting problems and building products that matter. Currently focused on creating tools and experiences that make a difference.

My background spans software engineering, product development, and strategic thinking. I've worked across different domains, always drawn to challenges that require both technical depth and creative solutions.

What drives me is the intersection of technology and human experience. I believe the best work happens when you combine rigorous thinking with genuine curiosity about how things could be better.
