I design AI-native
products for complex,
regulated systems.

Since leaving the DoD, I've studied how intelligent systems work — from non-linear regression at MIT to machine learning in Tokyo — and now build AI-native products and agents in New York City.

Selected Work

Autonomous Health Tracker Agent

Independent / Self-directed

Consolidated a fragmented health-tracking routine — smart scale, wearable, and progress photos — into one silent system. No new habits, no new apps to check: the tools I already used just started talking to each other.

Disciplines

Compliance UX

Making regulatory workflows navigable. Audit trails, policy management, and enforcement tooling that practitioners actually want to use.

AI Tooling

Interfaces and workflows for AI-assisted products — prompt UX, agentic dashboards, eval interfaces, and human-in-the-loop patterns.

Data Visualization

Interactive dashboards and charts that turn complex datasets into clear decisions — for government, finance, and operations.

Gov Software

Federal and civic digital products built to accessibility standards, modern design systems, and procurement realities.

Hackathons

Rapid-prototyping discipline: I run and compete in hackathons — scoping ruthlessly and shipping polished, functional products in 24–48 hours.
