I turn complex problems into products people love

I ship products from 0 to 1, drive growth through discovery-led execution, and build features that users genuinely value. I care deeply about craft, outcomes, and building things that matter.

A minimal browser extension I built for capturing and organizing text highlights from any webpage. No accounts, no sync, no tracking—just your notes, stored locally. Privacy-first by design.

A bit about me

I like building things. Talking to users, digging through data, figuring out why something feels off. That's the work I find interesting.

I didn't plan to end up in product. I just kept gravitating toward problems, writing code, sketching out workflows, asking users annoying questions until something clicked. Somewhere along the way I landed in cybersecurity and OSINT, building tools for investigators. Turns out that's pretty fun.

What gets me out of bed: 0→1 work. Finding a problem worth solving, shipping fast, seeing what sticks. I've built AI features, expanded platforms into new markets, and turned side experiments into things people actually pay for.

Good products come from good teams. I try to be someone who makes the team better.

How I work

The principles that guide my approach to building products

Discovery-first

Every great product starts with genuine curiosity. I dig deep before building.

Outcome-obsessed

Shipping is step one. I care about what happens after users get their hands on it.

Team-amplifying

The best ideas come from anywhere. I create space for engineers, designers, and stakeholders to shine.

Craft-caring

Details matter. The difference between good and great often lives in the margins.
