I’m a builder at heart with a deep passion for technology, leadership, and supporting ambitious founders. Over the last decade, I’ve helped scale engineering teams and products at companies like Uber, Sonder, Hipcamp, and most recently served as SVP of Engineering at Goodwater Capital, where I worked to empower entrepreneurs solving real-world problems. I’m currently a Fellow at Goodwater, taking time to explore, build, and reconnect, with a particular focus on how AI can be applied to education, creativity, and human well-being. These days, I split my time between fractional CTO advisory, angel investing, and hands-on product development. I love working closely with early-stage founders, whether it’s helping shape product and engineering strategy, reviewing a pitch deck, or simply being a thought partner on tough decisions. If you’re building in AI, especially in consumer tech or dev platforms, I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
