Biography

Product leader. Platform thinker. Hands-on maker.

Twenty years building products people rely on—and teams that know why the work matters.

Strategy only matters
when teams execute.

I lead enterprise platforms in insurance and restoration. I still design and ship consumer apps on the side. Learning by creating.

Built for collectors & daily learners

+ Context

I still design and ship consumer apps because there is no substitute for making the decisions yourself—from the shape of a workflow to the detail of an interaction. Kickdex and WordDrip are how I keep learning by creating.

Focus: iOS / SwiftUI / Consumer products
