I design, I code, I argue, I listen.

I'd rather be wrong twice and find the real answer than be safe once and miss it.

I designed a system that detects brain damage in the living and won first place at Figma's FigBuild. I built an AI presentation tool from scratch and then spent a month teaching it to admit when it was lying. I fought my CEO for a feature he rejected, proved it with data, and watched it grow an app from 45K to 700K users.

“You have a backbone but you are not stubborn.”
