A place to become a builder.
What does it mean to build well?
AI suggestions. Human decisions.
Trust, checked at the boundary.
An assistant for the everyday.
I start with the people and the problem. I listen, explore what could help, and build a first version to test. My goal is to turn a promising idea into something useful, then learn from how people use it.
Lead problem
“Can this experience help someone do something valuable they couldn't do before, and can they demonstrate it independently?”
Second problem
“Can someone trust the result, inspect the evidence, correct mistakes and stay in control?”
I want to own a consequential AI product, end to end, inside a strong team.
My evidence: my teams shipped Apple Maps features. As a founder, I build products end to end.
At Apple and Microsoft, I worked on complex systems. As a founder, I bring that experience to hands-on product building: connecting the vision to the technical details, bringing people together and taking ownership when the path is unclear.
