about

I am a writer, programmer, and senior manager at a high-growth startup.


At Clutch I lead a 16-person implementation engineering team, where I spend my days hiring and cultivating exceptional teams, building AI-enabled workflows, designing resilient systems that anticipate change, and helping complex software become usable at scale.


I am currently interested in making software and the broader internet feel more local, curation and proactive recommendation systems, cultivating curiosity, and designing technology that protects attention rather than competing for it.
