I design by building, and I build what I envision. I stay deep in the details while driving AI capabilities and design direction at an organizational level.

I lead a group of design engineers and product designers at the bleeding edge of applied AI. We are the acceleration team defining how builders at Block build.

Working hands-on in AI efforts while guiding an organization through this shift has shaped how I think about AI: optimism drives invention, but discomfort keeps it grounded in why it matters.

Outside of work, I rock climb, chase knowledge rabbit holes, write occasionally, and read a lot of science fiction.
