My first career was in audio post production, where I worked in a variety of creative and technical roles for Lucasfilm, Dolby Laboratories, Sonic Solutions, and others. Sound design led to opportunities in product and process design where I was able to apply my media technology background to raise the bar on product experience for energy, healthcare and enterprise applications.

Along the way, I founded an HMD company called V!ZOR to solve the problem of “the last yard” - the distance between your phone and your face, and an automotive security company called Angyl to reimagine the car alarm. In 2019, I joined a Bay Area sales enablement startup as Vice President of Product and Design, shepherding their flagship application from early alpha through their launch in 2022. The hard-won lessons I learned from these ventures and other experiments in making the future real continue to inform my work and play.

In 2023, in collaboration with a committed group of neighbors, volunteers, and local businesspeople, I have become the driving force behind the Lake Merritt Conservancy.

Our team of agnostic engineers delivers unbiased expertise at no cost to clients, ensuring customized strategies that drive measurable results.

Our approach is rooted in deep industry insight, ensuring businesses make informed technology decisions that align with their goals.

My expertise lies in technology brokerage, advisory services, roadmap development, business process automation, and go-to-market strategies for business owners and startups. With a Lean Six Sigma certification and executive leadership development training, I take a structured, data-driven approach to evaluating, sourcing, managing, and optimizing technology solutions across diverse platforms and service providers.

Above all, I prioritize people, trust, and relationships. Passionate about problem-solving and empowering others, I’m committed to giving back to the community. Outside of work, I enjoy playing guitar and singing with friends and family, fostering meaningful connections both personally and professionally.
