About

I enjoy building with strong user empathy and a bias for shipping. Outside of work, I like cooking, photography, travel, and constantly learning from books and people.

How I use Claude Code

  • Accelerate prototype development, debugging, and implementation handoff notes.
  • Draft PRDs, user stories, and release communication with clearer structure.
  • Summarize customer feedback and identify high-impact product opportunities.
