What I bring
I work across the decisions most teams separate.
Strategy
Find the right problem, define what success means.
Design
Turn complexity into clear interactions and systems.
Engineering
Build, test, and refine real products.
Six years writing spaceflight software, then design roles at CEB, Pearson, Netspend and Verikai before co-founding SlateRoom.
Research interests
How should AI communicate what it knows, and what it doesn't?
My work at Verikai and SlateRoom led me to questions about explainability, uncertainty, and human judgment.
