I'm a product manager and builder with a lifelong passion for product, engineering, and design. I'm based in Las Vegas with over 12 years of experience across product, technology, and operations.

I studied physics and mathematics in college before leaving to pursue a career, though I never stopped studying on my own, developing a particular interest in differential geometry and general relativity. That background still shapes the way I see problems today, especially my instinct to question assumptions, look at things from different perspectives, and measure before drawing conclusions.

Early in my career, my work ranged from developing physical products to leading sales teams. When COVID-19 hit and lockdowns became widespread, I pivoted into software. That transition eventually brought me to MachineGenius, where I joined the team behind Olelo, an AI-powered captioning app. Working in product operations put me at the intersection of users, technology, data, and the business, and I quickly found myself drawn to solving the problems that sat between them.

Over time, my drive to improve both the customer experience and the underlying business pulled me deeper into product and eventually into product ownership. Since then, I’ve worked across mobile products, platform infrastructure, and AI, taking on increasingly complex problems spanning product, design, and engineering.

Looking back, the common thread has always been this: I like understanding how things work, finding where they could work better, and figuring out how to build the better version.

I'm an inventor at heart, so I’m always building something. Sometimes that means writing software, and sometimes it means fabricating a physical object. It almost always starts with a problem I can’t resist trying to solve.
