The day job
Staff engineer at Google DeepMind, building AI Studio
AI Studio
Google's browser-based workspace for building with Gemini. Prompt playground, full-stack app creation, multimodal — for anyone, not just developers.
Developer Experience
Making frontier AI feel approachable. From prompt to production app, without needing a PhD.
The Arc
Previously: three database teams at Google Cloud. The mission hasn't changed — make powerful technology accessible.

Things I care about
Sustainability
How do we build technology — and lives — that don't cost the earth?
Community
Tech that connects, not isolates. (Still working on getting off my phone.)
Poetry
I write it, though sharing it is still a work in progress.
Music
Learning guitar, missing piano, always up for a good playlist.
