About me

I like to think of myself as a balanced man - equally drawn to both championing the next technological innovation and embracing an unplugged lifestyle off the grid. I’m pleased with both a loaded itinerary or a spontaneous getaway, and I’d happily take a penthouse atop an urban skyscraper or a humble hut in a tropical paradise.

In constantly finding the happy medium, I’ve developed a cultural competence that drives my approach to problem solving.

  • With each day, technology embeds itself deeper into our everyday lives. This reality is exciting—we continue to redefine the limits of innovation.

    I’m passionate about developing digital products that empower users to not just adapt, but thrive in this evolving landscape.

    A digital presence is no longer optional. I advocate for the luddites who feel left behind, the self-proclaimed ‘technologically challenged’ who blame themselves when a product isn’t intuitive, the young professional learning a new toolkit, and everyone in between.

  • Problems exist everywhere, so I’ve naturally applied Design thinking to everything I do to find solutions.

    As an IT consultant I’m empathizing with users and identifying their core pain points, navigating language barriers and information gaps to define the problem space.

    As a choreographer, I’m considering the audience and talent at hand, optimizing all available resources to deliver an impactful product.

    As a climber, I’m actively tracking the requirements of a problem and evaluating risks while ensuring progress.

    Whatever the task at hand, my product mindset remains the same — balancing creativity with strategy to build solutions that are intuitive, impactful, and human-centered.
