I am an entrepreneur & media exec with a strong background in digital media, but have a passion for all technology. I work with global public companies to small as well as other entrepreneurs no matter what stage they are in and invest. After 12 years in the Product field across 2 very successful Tech companies, I founded STAQ, the leading automated reporting platform for digital publishers. A strong product vision, great organization and being financially efficient led to STAQ's successful acquisition 2021 by Operative Media. I am a very passionate leader and drive organizations to be innovative and excited, and to enjoy building together as a team, all while being efficient and operationally sound.

I'm a software architect and startup founder transitioning into creative technology, exploring how code, AI, and interaction design create meaningful immersive experiences. I bring 18+ years of experience designing robust, scalable software systems and now build tools to empower artists and scientists. My current project, MythicEngine, explores using language models as narrative managers for audience-driven stories, integrating agents with graph-based memory to craft emergent, coherent narratives. I design systems that foster curiosity, experimentation, and expression across disciplines.
