About me

I'm a Design Engineer and Product Engineer with 8+ years of experience. Today I build the product interfaces at Xata, a Postgres platform for AI workloads. Before that I co-founded Stackzero, where I led product and design and shipped an API, an admin dashboard and open-source UI libraries used by thousands of developers.

I started in product and operations, which is why I care as much about the problem as the pixels. My work sits between design and engineering: design systems, UI engineering and the details that make a product feel finished.
