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. Vibe coding bits and pieces and design is by hand.

Idiosyncracies

I'm fond of using unusual bullets in my personal writing.

Professional Bio

Building on earlier technical roles in multiple domains, I've dedicated over 16 years to GTM leadership at venture-backed startups, leading high-performance teams and bringing category-defining technical products to global markets across artificial intelligence, computer networking, and B2B SaaS. As a first or founding go-to-market 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 and cutting-edge AI researchers. This interest aligns with my motivation to work on difficult problems for the benefit of humanity. My senior leadership perspective, combined with a deep technical affinity, positions me as both an early adopter and strategic advocate for disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence, open source software, and their evolving ecosystems. I find the intersection of AI innovation and market dynamics compelling, and I enjoy discussing this with the greater community.

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