I've spent 13 years building products at the intersection of AI, developer tools, and platform scale — at Microsoft, through a startup I co-founded, and now leading AI strategy at Minecraft.

At Minecraft, I defined the studio's AI strategy and lead the teams building intelligent systems for one of the most-played games on the planet. Before that, I launched Minecraft's Bedrock Editor — the first professional creator IDE in the game's history. At Rec Room, I led product through a period of rapid growth, shipping the Xbox platform expansion and the creator tools that power the community's content.

Earlier at Microsoft, I led product for HoloLens — partnering with NASA, the NFL, and Buzz Aldrin on platform-defining experiences — and spent three years turning AI research into shipped products, earning 17+ patents in software, AI, and hardware along the way.

I also co-founded Spotted Places, a social platform startup where I was in the code, running the business, and doing product simultaneously. That experience shapes how I approach everything: I know what it feels like to own a problem end to end. I still build — I run agentic AI pipelines, contribute to open source AI tooling, and experiment with things like BinaryVibes, a framework that generates native executables from plain English.

When I'm not in front of a screen, I'm probably paragliding, 3D printing something impractical, or doing amateur mycology. The common thread: I like understanding how systems work, whether that's an AI pipeline, a thermal, or a fungal network.
