About

I’m interested in the model beneath the surface.

I’m a product leader and systems-oriented builder based in Oakland, California.

I’m energized by complicated domains: situations where the vocabulary is imprecise, important information conflicts, and the product has to translate real-world complexity into something coherent and useful.

I currently work at Terminal49, helping build AI-powered logistics products. My work spans product architecture, document intelligence, human review, evaluation systems, and the relationships among shipping data and operational workflows.

Previously, I led product at Lula and worked with Addify, Marin Software, and Invitae. Across those environments, I’ve been most useful when I can learn a domain quickly, identify the deeper structure of a problem, and collaborate with engineers and stakeholders to turn that understanding into a product.

My path outside work is less linear. I built a tea business that was featured in Tim Ferriss’s Tools of Titans. I’ve made things for Burning Man, pursued long mountain and endurance objectives, explored ceramics, and built increasingly elaborate systems for whatever has captured my attention.

These interests come from the same impulse as my professional work: understand how something works, become capable within it, and create something meaningful from what I learn.

Away from the screen, you’ll usually find me planning an unreasonable mountain objective, making ceramics, building something for the desert, experimenting with food, or going much deeper than necessary into a new subject.

  • AI product architecture
  • Vertical AI and intelligent workflows
  • Evaluation and human-review systems
  • Data provenance and decision history
  • Products built around complicated real-world entities
  • Tools for reasoning and acting under uncertainty
How can we model this more truthfully—and what becomes possible if we do?

Say hello

I enjoy meeting people working on difficult product problems—especially where AI, complex information, and real operational decisions intersect.
