Intelligence starts
with the foundation.
I work at the intersection of AI, data, and the systems that connect them. At Microsoft, that means turning complex enterprise data into something teams and agents can use.
Before that, I built a payments company. Across both chapters, the work has been about the same thing: making complex systems useful, reliable, and worth building.
