Designing and building software has been a constant through most of my life. I’ve worked in large design formations, owned products end to end, taken on focused consulting and advisory work, and led cross-functional teams through long-horizon programs, from early definition into post-production stabilization.

Even before LLMs, my work moved fluidly between product, design, and engineering. Design has always been my centre of gravity, but I’ve never understood it as something confined to the interface. To me, design is also about how a product works: the logic underneath it, the workflows it supports, and the way those parts come together as an experience. Doing that well requires real subject-matter depth, along with enough understanding of implementation to carry the work through with precision and quality.

I find this moment incredibly exciting. There is more room than ever for people with curiosity, concentrated volition, and creative agency to push further into their work. There is no single way to meet it. People are rethinking their relationship to craft, how they execute, what they choose to take responsibility for, and the cultures they want to build around them.

My way of working is still changing quickly. The range of what I can carry from first principles through to execution keeps widening, and I’m becoming more deliberate about where new tools genuinely extend my reach and where they should not. I want augmentation without atrophy: to use these systems where they are useful, while continuing to train the human faculties that matter most to me: judgment, discernment, attention, and the ability to think clearly for myself. What stays fixed is the standard: make something excellent, and do it with and for people who are aligned in how they care about the work.

Today, I’m building Decimal, a vertical operations system for capital markets and corporate governance, where I’m a co-founder and drive both product and engineering. In parallel, I advise select companies on a fractional basis, and I reserve capacity for contract engagements and collaborations.
