You can just do things

All I wanted to do was to put up some simple static web pages with my writing.

What I am apparently doing is creating a piecemeal custom CMS from first principles. Coding bits and pieces and design is by hand.

Professional Bio

Building on earlier technical roles, I've dedicated over 16 years to marketing leadership at venture-backed startups, leading high-performance teams and bringing category-defining products to developers across artificial intelligence, infrastructure, and B2B SaaS. As a first or founding GTM leader and advisor, I've collaborated closely with visionary founders, VCs, engineers, and practitioners to build exceptional 0-to-1 early-stage and growth-stage companies — contributing to 3x exits.

Today, I'm particularly drawn to the transformative work of the frontier AI labs, cutting-edge AI researchers, and AI builders. This interest aligns with my motivation to tackle hard problems for the benefit of humanity. My senior leadership perspective, combined with a deep technical affinity, positions me as both an early adopter and advocate for disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence, open source software, and their evolving ecosystems. Personally, I find the intersection of AI and market dynamics incredibly interesting, and I enjoy conversations about this topic with the greater community.

I'm currently based in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area.
