About

I am currently co-founder of Mavis, a document writing platform that helps you turn ideas into polished documents, leveraging your past work, with a collaborative AI assistant.

Over my 25 year career, I’ve built and led engineering organizations at large tech organizations and startups, including co-founding Flint and serving as VP Engineering at MobileCoin. I enjoy solving complex problems, mentoring others, and fostering a culture of rapid innovation.
