About


I'm an engineer, designer, and founder. I currently work as the Co-founder and Head of Product at Office Hours, an expert marketplace and platform.

Two things have fascinated me since I was a kid: understanding how things work, and understanding why people do what they do. The first led me to engineering, the second to design and entrepreneurship.

Before Office Hours, I spent almost four years at Affirm. While at Affirm, I helped build their consumer apps, launch the first version of their merchant marketplace, and develop their 0% interest product.

Leading up to Affirm, I was a software engineer across the tech stack at companies like Sweep (acquired by Affirm), Adobe, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Broadcom.

This site is primarily used as an outlet to share thoughts on building digital products. On occasion, I'll also explore some of my personal interests in health, fitness, cognitive psychology, personal finance, and more.
