I build products that help people actually learn.

Engineer + instructor at Newton School of Technology. I talk to students, define the metrics and ship the tools. Now looking for a product role at an early-stage startup.

Builder by habit. Teacher by day.

Intern→SME→Instructor→Team lead

Two years at Newton School of Technology, building the tools our students and instructors use every day. I care about one thing: people should leave a product understanding more, not just having clicked more.

Design & craft

Tools are the easy part. The hard part is knowing what you want the viewer to feel: which beat fits the scene, which light fits the mood.

// the same question I ask of a product: what should the user feel here?
