I build 0→1 products in high-ambiguity environments — the kind where the playbook doesn't exist yet and you have to write it as you go.
My background spans early-stage startups, software engineering, and venture investing: I've led a global fintech venture lab inside a $600M entity, shipped products as an early engineer at a YC-backed startup (raised $40M Series A), founded and scaled a company from 0 to 1,500 SMB customers across 7 countries, and deployed $2M+ as an early-stage investor. That range shapes how I think about product — from technical architecture to go-to-market to unit economics.
I'm drawn to frontier problems, new markets, and unwritten playbooks. Currently recruiting for product management roles in fintech and applied AI.
