About.
25+ years of design and development experience creating products and companies from 0 → 1 — from Nintendo and RED Digital Cinema to Gaikai (acquired by Sony PlayStation) and AKTA (acquired by Salesforce). I’ve spent 12 years at Google building Google Cloud Platform, first as a UX designer and now as a manager; today I lead the design of AI-native data & analytics experiences for Data Cloud UX — big-data tooling that’s become critical infrastructure for AI itself.
My focus today is Google, but I’m also building HangarX, an applied-AI venture lab, and making Digital Pool AI-native. Earlier I co-founded LunarCrush. I’m happiest as a generalist: close enough to the craft to ship, and far enough back to set direction.
