About

A product leader who believes the hardest part of building with frontier tech isn't making it work, but deciding what problem it should solve. I turn complex AI/XR breakthroughs into defensible, human-centered products that scale. My focus is on finding the opportunities that not only generate revenue but also build a mission that can rally and retain world-class talent.
