Passion for building + shipping real products at the intersection of technology and human-centered design to shift global problems into innovative, scalable solutions.
I build and ship real products at the intersection of tech and human-centered design. Turning complex global problems into innovative & impactful solutions that scale.
I grew up building. First it was Minecraft worlds, then real things of value I could hold and sell. Like fashion pieces I sewed and sold at 7yrs old, software, fintech and health IT apps, edtech hardware, and eventually a registered company… all before I finished high school.
I was raised around entrepreneurs, strategists, coders, and executives, so I learned very early on to value ownership, failing fast, craft, and momentum. I chose to double down by attending one of the most innovative technical high schools in the country, the New England Innovation Academy. There, I continued launching and shipping real solutions while studying human-centered design, product development, and business strategy. My trajectory is simple: learn from the best, build with integrity, and turn ideas into scalable solutions.
