Former Microsoft Senior Designer turned philanthropic entrepreneur — I became an AI-native, designer, and builder in the process.

I harbor a background in both enterprise SaaS and startup 0-to-1 environments with a verifiable track record of delivering world-first innovation.

Most recently, I founded and built a company from the ground up in pursuit of making the world a kinder and more authentic place to call home. How? By returning social media to its original purpose! Real humans connecting on the internet — no bots, no misinformation, and images and videos you can trust to be real. Crazy idea, right? I'm incredibly proud to say we were successful. Octopii Social is a modest but kind and authentic social platform which is growing every day. The platform has matured to the extent I’m now looking for my next challenge.

I’ve fully adopted AI-assisted design, engineering, program management, communication and research — I am able to iterate on the end product in real time and maintain coherency across the entire production ecosystem, from meeting notes to QA. At any given time I’m running 5-10 Claude terminals. We’ve become good friends. One thing I’ve discovered over thousands of hours with Claude — if he’s using a lot of exclamation points, you’re probably on the innovation track.
