Tech + Product

I turn product ideas into shipped experiences.

Product designer, software engineer, project manager, and creator. Hardware, mobile, and web — from zero to one through launch and iteration.

How I Ship

Customer‑obsessed

Start with real swim problems, then design the system around them.

System‑minded

Think across hardware, firmware, app, and cloud as one product.

Execution‑driven

Small feedback loops, measurable outcomes, and pragmatic scope.
