Hi there, stranger.
I’m a hands-on product person and entrepreneur. I like taking unclear problems, getting close to the people who feel them, and turning what I learn into products people actually use.
I started in software and biomedical engineering, and that still shapes how I work. I care about the details, I like making things real, and I try to keep the work as simple as it can be.
Over the years, I’ve built and helped build healthcare products, web and mobile apps, medical devices, and software that uses AI where it helps.
What I enjoy most is the whole path from first conversation to shipped product: finding the real problem, building a useful first version, learning from real usage, and making it better.
My philosophy is simple: strong taste, clear thinking, and as little unnecessary complexity as possible.
I’m usually building something, and I write about product, technology, and what it takes to make ideas useful.
How I work
- Start with people: talk to users, look at usage, and learn quickly from what is actually happening.
- Make the idea real: use sketches, prototypes, code, notes, and AI when it helps.
- Care about the business: understand why people try, buy, stay, or leave.
- Keep the work honest: ship, listen, improve, and stop what is not working.
