Long before I understood technology, I was drawn to it because it felt responsive.
As an only child, I got good at turning objects into company. Dolls, toy cars — anything that could hold a conversation in my imagination. Sci-fi gave that instinct a new character: a robot - something I could truly interact with. Once that idea took root, technology became a source of endless possibility for me.
I’ve built my career on bringing emerging technology to life in ways that meaningfully support people. Over two decades of building and shipping technology, I've learned something sci-fi hints at but real work makes clear: technology itself is neutral. The outcomes stem from the choices we make, whether we optimize for the appearance of productivity or real results, for convenience or human agency, for trend chasing or lasting value.
That’s why I’m an AI product builder and researcher today. I carry this belief into my work on AI today. AI raises the stakes because it can scale both benefits and harm. The impact depends on how it’s built, tested, and taught.
My job is to strike that balance. I run real-world experiments to see where AI helps and where it falls short. I stay close to current AI research, then translate what’s useful into products that people actually find helpful in their daily work.
One thing this work has made clear is a kind of paradox. If you look at AI purely as math, it can sound unimpressive — a system that predicts the next word. The value isn’t that AI is inherently “smart,” but that it can be shaped to support how different people think, work, and make decisions.
Put that prediction engine next to a human mind and something more interesting happens. It does not simply answer questions, it redistributes cognitive effort. For one person, it is a trail of breadcrumbs, an opening sentence, a list of options, enough to break the intimidation of the blank page. For another, it is a sparring partner that forces clearer thinking.
I write, speak, and coach on how to use AI to amplify human strengths and extend limited cognitive bandwidth. I bring a perspective at the intersection of mechanism and mind, grounded in real-world product delivery and fluent in both modern AI behavior and the human sciences shaping adoption, cognition, and decision-making. My focus is elevating product usage toward human-centered outcomes, and my work in this area has earned 18 international design awards, including IDEA, iF, and Red Dot.
