Building the judgment, teams, and technology that expand human capability.
Engineering leader and writer on decision-making, leadership, AI-native hardware, health sensing, and the systems that help people do their best work.
What I write about
01
Judgment under pressure
How leaders make clearer decisions, surface tradeoffs, and act before uncertainty becomes drift.
02
Building hard technology
Lessons from wearable computing, sensing, system design, and the reality behind physical products.
03
Teams that get stronger without you
Trust, conflict, coaching, accountability, and the operating systems that create durable capability.
