I build adaptive systems
at the intersection of AI, experimentation, product strategy, and human behavior.

About

01. About

I build adaptive systems that help products respond to people more effectively. My work sits at the intersection of AI, experimentation, product strategy, and decision science—where trust, measurement, and human behavior shape better customer experiences.

My background spans product management, data science, and behavioral research. I've worked across consumer products at TurboTax, retailers at Bazaarvoice, educational platforms at CreativeLive, open-source analytics at Rill, and privacy-sensitive systems at Mozilla, helping teams make stronger decisions through better instrumentation, evaluation, and product strategy. Before product management, I studied motivation and decision-making during my Ph.D research in cognitive psychology at the University of Texas at Austin and Yale—a foundation that still shapes how I think about adaptive systems, measurement integrity, and designing products around real people, not just models.

Clime

I built Clime to help gardeners make better planting decisions by combining local microclimate data with the conditions plants need to thrive. Clime evolved from an early data science fellowship project exploring how environmental data could improve planting decisions. I later expanded that idea into a more practical tool for microclimate-aware planning. Live demo.

04. Contact

I'm open to conversations about adaptive systems, product strategy, and teams building at the intersection of AI and human behavior. Whether you have a question, an idea, or just want to connect, I'd love to hear from you.
