Writing about
Product · Policy · Building

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-driven scramble that 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 throughline across hardware and software: most institutions - startups, cities, housing markets - could do more than they actually do, and the gap is usually a design or execution problem, not a resourcing one. I write here to think that through in public.
