How I Work

I build systems that balance structure, creativity, and people.

Start From First Principles

I dig deep to uncover the root of every problem. Enduring products come from understanding the fundamental truths of user pain points.

People-First Leadership

Exceptional products come from exceptional teams. I create teams where talented people feel secure taking creative risks together.
