Builder. Dad. Explorer

I lead data and AI work, build personal tools, chase new experiences, and test nearly everything on my family. I’m passionate about connecting with people, live music and events, and finding moments of awe, joy, and absurdity.

“Make a stranger laugh every day.”

From strategy to systems

I built the AI Maturity Assessment Equifax's CFO called a corporate priority. I led the team behind Mailchimp's largest price increase. Now I do that same kind of work for a landscaping crew, one property at a time.

Useful side quests

Family tools, Atlanta event scans, data rabbit holes, and creative experiments. I learn by making something real.

All-in on people

Core values

Give my family more freedom

As an immigrant and provider, security means giving my family peace of mind, flexibility, and choices I didn't have growing up.

Make room for joy, awe & absurdity

I am most alive laughing, dancing, hearing live music, or exploring somewhere new. Beauty, play, and wonder are not extras.

Follow the interesting thread

My brain asks: What can I make with this? How does it connect? Then I make the first useful version and see where it leads.

Stay strong for the adventure

My body is the vehicle for joy and presence. I want to hike mountains with my kids in thirty years, so movement matters now.

Find calm, then keep moving

Calm is not my default. Movement, mindfulness, music, and perspective help me interrupt the spiral and fall forward.

Connect people and leave things better

I want to be a community connector—lifting others, sharing what I know, and building teams where people can do their best work.

Bucket list

A life backlog should feel more like a launchpad than a checklist.
