I'm a Forward Deployed GenAI Engineer — a builder, tinkerer, and product pathfinder forged in Silicon Valley. My journey started in product management, but when GenAI hit, I realized truly understanding this technology meant building it. I taught myself to code, dove into context engineering, built agents and workflows — all against the backdrop of customer deployments. That hands-on experience allows me to now architect, build, and deliver GenAI solutions in the real world. Along the way, I led and inspired my team and practice through the same transformation — turning curiosity into capability.
I've come to think of myself as a GenAI gunslinger — working directly with customers to rapidly diagnose problems, prototype solutions, and move fast from demo to deployment.
What truly drives me is curiosity, tempered by Larry Page's "healthy disregard for the impossible" and Charlie Munger's warning that "It's not the bad ideas that do you in, but the good ones." That balance — between ambition and skepticism — defines how I work. I’m ruthless about validating AI use cases, killing my darlings, and focusing on what delivers real impact.
