detroit, mi

hey, i’m a tech generalist who owns messy startup problems end-to-end. process, people, product analytics, putting out fires. i like the work that doesn’t sit neatly in one job description.

if something is broken, unclear, or scaling faster than the team, that’s usually where i land.

i’m open to new work in startup operations, technical support and AI automation.

04 beliefs

  1. own the outcome, not the ticket.
  2. most process debt is solved by subtraction, not another tool.
  3. rigor shows up in the details, the ones users and operators actually feel.
  4. put out the fire, then build the process that makes it stop reigniting.
