Description

With over 20 years of experience across AI, data science, and software product leadership, I specialize in helping organizations of all sizes design and deliver technology that scales.

As a team member and advisor, I've supported founders in refining product-market fit, de-risking technical decisions, and building pragmatic roadmaps that attract investors and customers alike. My background blends hands-on engineering with strategic product thinking, making me a trusted partner for venture firms evaluating early-stage opportunities.
