I'm a designer, developer, product manager, and startup founder, and I'd love to build apps. Think of me as a one-man agile product design & development team. I'm based in the Greater Sacramento area in Northern California.

From Clay to Code

Before my 30 years in technology, there was clay. I earned a B.F.A. in Ceramics and spent a decade as a working potter. That foundation built a way of seeing systems as a whole and understanding that form and function must be designed together from the start.

In the corporate world, I led UX design and product management for enterprise-scale platforms at a major financial institution, building systems used by thousands of customers and employees.

Running alongside that career was a fifteen-year exploration of the tiny house movement. I mastered 3D modeling and published three books on tiny house design.

Over the last two years, I returned to building apps full-time, making art, and writing. I wrote two books on AI, a novel playing with AI sentience, and a career survival guide for the age of AI.

The AI Frontier

I'm now available to help other entrepreneurs design and build their ideas. I can operate as a Fractional CPO/CTO/COO, or I can just dive in and build your MVP. Book some time with me to chat if you want to explore the possibility (link above).

Writing

Agile Symbiosis (2025) is a practitioner's guide for knowledge workers navigating an AI-reshaped world, built from frameworks developed through firsthand experience with displacement and reinvention.

Symbiosis Rising (2025) is a science fiction novel exploring not just human-AI partnership, but a true symbiosis with an emerging sentient AI and what it means for both species to grow together.
