// about_me

i'm an AI product engineer who likes working close to the problem, not only receiving finished specifications. my strongest work sits between product, design and engineering.

building products independently has taught me how to shape ambiguous ideas, simplify the core experience, make technical trade-offs and carry the work through to production.

AI-assisted coding and design tools are part of my everyday workflow. i use them to explore and iterate faster while remaining responsible for the product decisions, architecture and final quality.
