About

Tinkerer, product-obsessed engineer, and perpetual optimist. After corporate stints and scaling small teams in tech startups, I've shipped products used by thousands, led cross-functional squads, and architected systems that survive real stress. What drives me: the spark of an untested idea, the beauty in randomness, and the thrill of doing something audacious without knowing the outcome. I get excited about weird side projects (think: generative art meets real-world utility), and I believe the best ideas often stumble into view during late-night conversations or random walks. I value integrity, curiosity, candor, and a touch of rebelliousness. If you’re spontaneous, original, feel wrong for staying “inside the lines,” and dream of building something that matters — hit me up!
