About

I care about the full lifecycle — design, implementation, rollout, and the data that tells you whether it worked. From first-time user onboarding to cross-platform auth to prediction market funnels, I've shipped it end-to-end and owned what happened after.

Off the clock: golf, great dinners, and shipping vibe-coded side projects — currently running a prediction pool and a book review site that actually made it to production.
