About
I design and engineer products, then build the companies around them. Over fourteen years that has meant features in front of 100M+ listeners at Spotify, auction tools at Artsy, a keyboard that hit #1 on the App Store, and now Blaze, where I build AI agents that move money across 40+ countries.
