I'm a design engineer by practice. I design by building, and I build what I envision.
Today, that translates to working on interface paradigms shaped by emerging AI capabilities. I
work hands-on in the details and also driving product and system direction at an
organizational level.
Working on accelerated Applied AI projects, while also guiding the design org to make sense of
it has shaped my guiding principles around AI. It's a complimentary mix of optimism and
discomfort. Optimism leads to innovation and it's paramount we push for that. Discomfort is
necessary to ground ourselves in the benefits of what we build and why.
Outside of work, I rock climb, go down knowledge rabbit holes, write occasionally, and read a
lot of science fiction.
