I build products that scale from 0 to millions.

I'm an engineering leader and hands-on builder specializing in 0-to-1 products that grow to millions of users. I'm currently the CTO of Tonic Music, where we're building an app that sparks real friendships through the power of music.

Previously, I led engineering and design at Edge Delta, a Series B company in the observability space. Before that, I spent several years as a backend tech lead at Twitter, where I was part of the founding teams for Twitter Spaces and Community Notes — building both from the ground up.

Before industry, I completed my PhD at UC San Diego, developing novel algorithms for 3D video compression.

I also angel-invest in ambitious teams. So far I've backed Tonic Music, Cuttle and Emotion Machine.

Beyond work, I'm part of Looking Up Arts, a collective that creates beautiful, large-scale, interactive sculptures for Burning Man.
