Speaking on stage at Klue's AI Innovation Summit, standing at a wooden podium in front of a navy step-and-repeat backdrop.

I've been building since university - teaching myself code and design to pay my way through school - and some version of that has been true ever since.

These days I'm a Staff Product Manager at Klue, focused on agentic AI and a new product build from the ground up. I am also a dad to two young kids, and an angel investor.

Before Klue, I founded CleanSlate UV, a biomedical company focused on novel disinfection and tracking tech.

I spent 8 years leading CleanSlate, building through a regulatory maze and international expansion. Then a COVID-fueled scramble taught me more about people, pressure, and product than any classroom could.

When I left CleanSlate in 2022 to focus on starting a family, I wanted an individual contributor stretch - a chance to rebuild depth in something new. I bet on AI.

My consistent focus has been on building products that people love, and advocating for policies that will make life better for those around me. I share some thoughts on both of these here.
