About

I’ve been building and shaping tech products for over 10 years, taking ideas from conception to production. I enjoy the challenge of starting from scratch and guiding apps as they grow to reach a broad audience. Along the way, I’ve managed and led cross-functional tech and product teams, and contributed to company operations alongside executive and leadership teams.
