Product Engineer & Developer Relations / Community Builder
Hello! I'm a Product Engineer, Developer Relations / Community Builder, and operator with a keen interest in creating cool software and sharing knowledge. Over the years I've had a diverse set of experiences ranging from full-stack development, product engineering, web3 scale-ups, AI & LLM's, and more. I enjoy curating signal, crafting communities, and world building on the frontier.
When I'm not building something, you can find me hanging out with my family. I'm always interested in hearing about new ideas so please reach out if you'd like to chat
