Philosophy

How I Work

Pragmatic Innovation

I stay close to the frontier, but prioritize what actually ships and works in production.

Responsible by Default

I design for safety, privacy, and auditability—especially in high-stakes environments.

Measurable Impact

I focus on outcomes you can track: reliability, performance, and business value.

Deep Partnership

I work closely with your team to align on goals, constraints, and long-term ownership.
