About

Three decades of product evolution.Still building what comes next.

My career has moved through several generations of technology. Through each transition, one question stayed constant: how do we make increasingly complex technology simpler and more useful to people?

My journey

Five eras, one continuous thread.

Not thirty years of the same job — thirty years of the discipline changing, and changing with it.

  4. 04

    Enterprise Systems

    Automation → SaaS → Complex Workflows

    Working with products where complexity, trust, scale and organizational systems become as important as the interface itself.

  5. 05

    Intelligent Products

    AI → Agents → Product Orchestration

    Exploring how human judgment and machine intelligence are changing not only the products we create, but the way Product, Design and Engineering create them.

The scope of the work kept growing.

Beyond product

I still like making things with my hands.

Away from product roadmaps, AI workflows and enterprise systems, I paint in watercolour.

It is a slower, more observational form of making — and one I continue simply because I enjoy the process of noticing, composing and creating something physical.
