Let's Talk

Whether it’s about products, psychology, or just coffee, I’d love to hear from you.

This is the start of a conversation, not just a form. 😊

I’ll reply faster than an elevator reaches your floor. 

I study human behavior to build better products.

I’m a developer and product owner, fueled by curiosity about people, behavior, and the psychology behind great products.

About

I’ve always been fascinated by people, why someone will wait 10 minutes for coffee or a fresh pizza, but abandon a purchase in just 10 seconds. I started out as a developer, happily buried in code, but curiosity about human behavior kept pulling me out of the editor and into product ownership (and eventually leadership). Now, I spend my time trying to blend psychology with product design, still learning, still experimenting, and still wondering why humans behave the way they do. This site is where I share that journey, the wins, the mistakes, and maybe a few too many thoughts on consumer quirks.

I’ve been lucky to work with some great teams that shaped how I think about people and products. Each role taught me something new — from writing cleaner code to leading teams to decoding what clients really mean by “just a small change.”
