Current work

Most of my work so far has been on products that are hard to make simple. Data pipelines, orchestration, technical tooling, and now AI systems that query real business data. The interface is usually the easy part, but the harder parts are deciding what the product should and shouldn’t do, and how people know when to trust it.

My process

I have been a sole contributor in my early days and only started managing a team from my work at 5X. I approach every problem with context, things I know and things I don't. I start experimenting early with AI assisted prototypes and iterate as I get close to the final product.

Outside work

Outside work, I enjoy travelling to learn new things, meeting tech nerds, taking hobby classes and flying drones!

Some reallllllly cool things I've been doing

Mom's bedroom's Android TV kept freezing, so I vibe coded it with Claude.

There's gazillion things that we are doing with Claude and I figured out a way. TV memories are usually quite low, mom's TV had just 1Gb of memory, that was loaded with manufacturer's bloatware that we are never going to use. So I asked Claude on how we can create a custom launcher, disable every optional feature and get a screensaver that shows time, weather and air quality. After an hour of dangling around with Android Studio, I was able to create a wireless connection with TV and upload the new launcher. The TV now runs buttery smooth with a third of memory always available.
