I'm a Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Analyst who doesn't stop at the surface of a problem. Whether I'm building a new data integration, facilitating a sprint, or digging through a century of neighborhood land records, I bring the same instinct: find the truth, maximize its value, and then build.
I'm moving toward forward deployed engineering and technical product ownership — roles where deep curiosity and clear thinking are the job.

Now — what I'm learning & reading
Reading
Sapiens - Yuval Noah Harrari
Much can be learned from history. Originally found on Barrack Obama's reading list, I'm particularly interested in the sections on human psychology and applying those ideas to my work (IE: Dunbars number - Individuals can only maintain 150 relationships).
Reading
"What is Claude? Anthropic doesn't know, either" - The New Yorker
This article was a pivotal moment for me. A colleague shared it with me and I frequently revisit it. One of the best pieces of writing in recent memory, and made me create an Anthropic account.
Learning
Claude & LLM's
Having used ChatGPT as a Python tutor since it released, I was an original vibe-coding skeptic that received a reality check when I used Claude for the first time in March, 2026. Now learning to maximize Claude Code for work, and projects for personal endeavors.
Thinking about
Finding my next role
I'm ready to bring my innovative and creative side to a Product Owner or Forward Deployed Engineer role. What draws me to these positions is the full cycle: doing the business analysis to find where value hides, then staying in the room to make those ideas real.
Thinking about
Social & economic impacts of AI
AI developments are moving quickly and impacting every sector. As with most change, I'm learning how to ride the wave, and bring others with me.
Thinking about
Disruptive Technologies
Model Context Protocol.. Electric Vertical Takeoff or Landing Vehicles (EVTOL's).. Blockchain.. There are many new technologies that have the potential to quickly change our society through decentralization.
Let's innovate together.
