The through-line

The domains change, but the product logic underneath is consistent.

My work usually starts the same way: find the leverage point in a system, then turn emerging capability into something operationally useful.

That has taken me across ecommerce, contact center, workflow modernization, and enterprise AI. At Guitar Center, I helped scale ChatGPT Enterprise from roughly ~150 licensed users / ~40 DAU to ~1,000 users / ~800 DAU by pairing reusable workflows with governance, enablement, and close partnership across Legal, Security, Engineering, and Operations.

I stay close to the build because better AI product decisions come from understanding the system, not just the roadmap. My work has included agent-based workflows, retrieval across structured and unstructured data, and eval-driven iteration to improve quality, trust, and reliability over time.

I also keep a hands-on builder practice through AI-native product and research experiments, including multi-agent research workflows in immunology. Music remains part of the story because it sharpens narrative sense, systems awareness, and craft. It supports the product work rather than competing with it.

How I work

The operating principles that shape how I build, ship, and scale.

  • Start with the workflow, not the model.
  • Stay close enough to the system to make better product decisions.
  • Tie the work to business outcomes, adoption signals, and operational reality.
  • Design retrieval, governance, and review paths as part of the product.
  • Use evals, feedback loops, and prototypes to improve quality and decision-making over time.
