I’m a 0→1 product builder based in Vancouver. I trained as a software and biomedical engineer, and over the past few years I’ve worked professionally as a product manager, though I still think and operate like an engineer who wants to ship.
That combination has pulled me toward products where software, healthcare, and AI meet: web platforms, mobile apps, medical devices, and clinical AI tools.
I started as a self-taught programmer, launched a small web agency at 18, and have since co-founded and built products from scratch. I really enjoy the full cycle: user discovery and interviews, iterating on feature usage, getting users to the first aha moment, and figuring out how to market and sell something people want to use, from insight to activation to retention. I move between that, hands-on engineering, and keeping teams focused on what actually solves the problem.
My philosophy is simple: strong taste, clear thinking, and as little unnecessary complexity as possible. I’m usually exploring a side project, a new venture, or a question that connects technology back to real human problems.
