03 / A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Always a builder.
Always a beginner at something.
An engineer’s mind.
A founder’s instinct.
A human perspective.
I’ve spent more than two decades turning complex problems into products people use. Along the way, I’ve co-founded companies, led international engineering teams, and helped founders find their footing.
From messaging at global scale to AI that handles everyday conversations, the question stays the same: how can we make this genuinely useful?
I’m as comfortable deep in the code as I am shaping a product’s direction. And I believe the best work happens with good people who stay curious.

OFFLINE, BUT STILL MAKING THINGS.04 / BEYOND THE KEYBOARD
Different strings.
Same curiosity.
Before I was building software, I was learning guitar. I’ve been playing since I was 12 or 13, and there’s still nothing quite like a good blues riff or an unplanned jam session.
Sometimes that creative energy becomes music.
That’s where Taylorism comes in.
05 / LET’S CONNECT
Good things start with a conversation.
