A.I. Native Designer + Builder

Former Microsoft Senior Designer harboring a background in both enterprise and start-up environments with a focus on delivering world-first innovation. Most recently made the transition from big tech to entrepreneurship; founding and building a social media company from the ground up in pursuit of returning social media to its original purpose — and, ideally, making the world a kinder and more authentic place to call home. In doing so, I became an AI poweruser, contributing over 500,000 lines of code to the live Octopii Social product available on the app stores right now.

I bring an abyssal technical systems-thinking mindset, an intuition-first and feedback-iterated approach to design, and a prime directive of crafting effortless delight at every turn of the user experience. I’ve fully adopted AI-assisted engineering and am able to iterate on the end product in real time, producing clean code with meticulous agent management, often running 10 Claude terminals at a time. I can produce an app or two, multiple functional dashboards, or 5 or more features in a day. My limit is RAM.

In a strictly design sense, my most pronounced skillset is vision, ideation, and strategy. I naturally arrive at innovative solutions to 1,000-piece puzzles, regardless of the subject matter or problem space. Given a problem, I will produce a suite of informed solutions and provide strategic guidance as to the best option given any number of conditions, constraints, and priorities of multiple parties — from business goals and organizational needs to technical constraints and customer requirements. I enjoy this as much or more than building solutions themselves. My ideal day is one in which I’m able to exercise all of these strengths simultaneously with complete autonomy — give me a mile, I’ll bring back a mountain.
