Building AI products that strengthen human judgment instead of replacing it.

Human-centered applied AI — products that help people navigate machine-mediated systems while strengthening their cognition, agency, and expression. I work across product engineering, agent orchestration, evaluation, and the operating systems that keep the result reliable.

Using customer research and product tests to decide what to build next.

I turn customer research into product decisions, requirements, experiments, and launches for AI products.

§ 04 / Work with us

Have an interesting problem?

We take on difficult product and engineering problems in applied AI, and we publish what we learn from them.
