About

Product leader with a passion for instilling fast-moving teams with deep customer empathy. Unequivocal believer that safe people do great work. Strong technical background with a customer/client foreground. Fluency in too many software tools. Enough Python to cause small problems.

Was once thanked by a technical lead for "cutting scope" and having "at least one good hot take."
