Bay Area Native
Relationships first. Partnerships over transactions.
I work at the intersection of product, engineering, and go-to-market, helping ambitious teams launch AI-powered products, structure partnerships, and build ecosystems from zero to one.
About
California roots, partnership instinct, and a bias toward building.
I’m a California native, raised in a family of first-generation immigrants, and I’ve spent most of my life here through college, grad school, and now building my career. I took a few detours to New York and Chicago along the way, but California has always pulled me back.
Professionally, I build partnerships that turn emerging technology into real businesses. I’ve worked with teams at Zendesk, Together AI, and Encord to launch AI-powered products, structure marketplace deals, and grow ecosystems from scratch.
I’m especially drawn to helping others navigate the ambiguity of partnerships, whether that means advising founders or sharing what I’ve learned about turning strategy into execution. I’m also deeply interested in how technology can expand human capability.
Outside of work, I’m usually chasing winters, traveling the world with my wife to ski and snowboard, or spending time with my growing family.
What I Care About
Thoughtful partnerships, practical execution, and technology in service of people.
Ambiguity to execution
Turning broad partnership ideas into decisions, systems, and momentum.
Founder support
Helping early teams think through distribution, ecosystems, and the right first moves.
Human capability
Exploring how emerging technology can make people sharper, faster, and more effective.
Life outside work
Skiing, snowboarding, travel, and making time for the people who matter most.
