About Me
What do kayaking, WordPress, and The Great Wall of China all have in common?
For most people, probably not much. But for me, they each represent formative moments that shaped who I am today:
- Training for the Olympics in sprint flatwater kayaking taught me grit and precision.
- Purchasing my first WordPress site with birthday money as a teenager—through which I launched my first company—showed me how technology could unlock creative freedom.
- Studying abroad in China during my junior year, where I climbed portions of the Great Wall in the snow, taught me resilience, strategic thinking, and deep empathy for people navigating challenges far different from my own.
Today, I bring those same lessons into my work: building AI-powered platforms that serve 500,000+ users, launching 0-to-1 products from concept to production, and solving enterprise-scale challenges with cutting-edge technology. I believe the best products don’t just solve problems—they unlock what people can imagine and accomplish.
