`About`

`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 millions of developers globally 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.

`What I'm Looking For Next`

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, geopolitics, and market dynamics incredibly interesting.

`Location`

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