About

How I work

“If it can be tracked, it can be optimized. If it can be imagined, it can be built.”

I do my best work where planning meets execution. I have a degree in Information Technology and an MBA focused on emerging technologies, digital marketing and consumer insight, and I use both to turn messy problems into systems people can actually use.

Outside work, I bring the same curiosity to fitness, gaming and the side projects on this page: databases, automation pipelines and community brands. I try to keep learning, test honestly and keep iterating until the work holds up.
