About

I’m an engineering leader focused on building and scaling high-impact products at the intersection of software, AI, and user experience. Over the course of my career, I’ve led teams from early-stage formation through mature, high-performing organizations—owning both technical direction and product outcomes. I operate best where engineering, product, and business strategy meet, helping organizations translate emerging technologies into real, user-facing value. More recently, my work has centered on AI product strategy and implementation. I’ve led initiatives spanning on-device inference, edge AI infrastructure, and production-grade machine learning integrations—focusing not just on what’s technically possible, but what delivers meaningful differentiation. I’m particularly interested in how AI can move closer to the user: improving latency, privacy, and reliability through on-device and distributed architectures. I’m comfortable operating across the stack—from defining architecture and guiding implementation to hiring, mentoring, and building strong engineering cultures. I’ve partnered closely with executive leadership, product, and design to align roadmaps with business goals, ensuring engineering efforts directly impact growth, engagement, and long-term strategy. At my core, I enjoy building: teams, systems, and products that scale.
