About

I'm a lifelong creative generalist, which shapes how I approach everything else. Creativity is a blessing and a curse. When most people are fine with 'done,' I'm still obsessing over the finer details because I'm not satisfied until I know that everything has been considered.

When I'm not doing that, I lead engineering teams. People-first, culture-obsessed, and convinced that how a team works together matters as much as what it builds.

I'm a maker at heart. Because life's too short to live with the defaults. Lately, I've been 3D modeling and printing highly specific solutions to 'problems' no one else would notice. Or I'm building the app to satisfy my wildly niche ideas. Because the creative process is just another form of problem-solving.

Underneath it all is a running fascination with where technology, art, and music collide.

I run Hao.travel with my partner, a travel journal for places usually off the beaten path, and Hello, Thoughts! where ideas go when I need to think out loud.

I collect things: experiences, detours, half-finished ideas, and the occasional shiny object I definitely don't have a place to put.

Much like the many ideas I have at any given point in time, the icons floating around my head are the best waypoints of what I'm into right now.
