"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future."

Hi! I'm a product-oriented developer building agentic AI at Meta Superintelligence Labs. Previously at GEICO and BrandSafway. A proud University of Michigan alum, I've always had a builder's mindset, from reducing infant mortality in Ghana to teaching in Peru to running an Airbnb out of my college apartment. Outside work, I'm fueled by long road trips and history podcasts.
