.hello

I build optimization systems that turn human signals and data into clear insights and consistent execution—across technology, health, and business leadership.





MSc Information Systems, University of Washington

BA Political Science, University of Washington


“My life has revolved around the process of analyzing systems, places, and methods, and developing a strategic approach. I'm excited by the line between quantitative rigor and boundless creativity — because I believe the most powerful ideas live exactly where those two worlds collide. Across two decades of sports, racing, communications, and academic research, I've learned that peak performance isn't accidental: it's the product of disciplined systems, honest self-assessment, and the courage to lead before you feel ready.

Everything I build — from communication analytics platforms to health & fitness apps to editorial photo essays — is driven by a single, non-negotiable standard: that the work must move people — toward clarity, toward capability, toward something they couldn't see before.
