I lead engineering at Misfits & Machines. Before that, I built advertising systems at Amazon and financial infrastructure at Stripe, where reliability and clarity mattered.

Today, we build AI-native products: agentic workflows, MCP integrations, and UIs that feel intentional—not bolted on. I write about what I learn on Notes and publish the skills I use with coding agents.
