About

I started in design, studied business, taught myself software, and kept following the harder coordination problems. My work spans large-scale product engineering at Google, security tooling at Truffle Security, and community infrastructure through Nobo House, /dev/color, and Personal Development Nerds.I’m most useful where product judgment, technical execution, and operating clarity have to meet: accessible collaboration tools, resilient internal platforms, security workflows, learning communities, and high-trust teams.
