I’ve spent 17+ years working across product, design, technology, and brand. I’ve led teams, started companies, designed products, shaped strategy, prototyped ideas, and increasingly written the code to make them real.
Today I’m a Product Designer at Fluidstack, where we’re building the infrastructure required to power frontier AI.
I’m a player/coach by nature. I like setting the direction, assembling great teams, and then getting into the work itself: designing, prototyping, coding, writing, and experimenting.
