Let’s connectAbout
I’ve worked on the systems behind everyday business, from Microsoft Azure Data Factory and edge AI to Salesforce and MuleSoft. I studied computer science at UW–Madison and business at Berkeley Haas.
Today, I focus on a very human question: when can people trust AI enough to let it help? That question connects my product work, writing, speaking, and interest in technology for the physical world.
