about me

Meet the bold, adventurous Brooklyn-based Product Manager who thrives on solving novel, high-stakes problems with a sharp eye for creative technical strategy. With a deep interest in financial markets & behavioral economics, he is captivated by analyzing how human psychology influences decision-making, market dynamics, and product experiences.

Beyond the world of tech, he's an explorer at heart—backpacking through stunning landscapes, capturing life's beauty on 35mm film & VHS, and immersing themselves in live music. An everlasting curious mind with an unconventional set of fascinations, he geeks out over spinal anatomy, urban transit systems, topography, and the mysteries of existence.

product journey

I'm a product manager with an engineering background who loves building things from zero to one. I'm captivated by art, entertainment, and abstract pontifications—which shapes how I think about user experiences and technical complexity. My CS degree and years as a software engineer taught me that complexity doesn't equal impact—the real challenge is building something people actually need. I read market signals, understand what new infrastructure makes possible, and build products that leverage those shifts before they become obvious.

Currently exploring fintech because money is infrastructure, and infrastructure changes create opportunities. Whether it's tokens, capital markets, or money movement, I'm drawn to products that make financial systems more accessible. Equally interested in products that enhance physical experiences—transit apps that work, topographic tools for trail planning, platforms that make RV camping less chaotic.

Philosophy influences my approach, particularly Martin Buber's insight about genuine relationships happening between "I" and "Thou." The best products create meaningful connections, not just solve problems. I build things that didn't exist before and probably shouldn't exist yet—but do because the market is ready, technology enables it, and they honor how humans actually want to relate to tools and each other.
