What I Believe

  • Build for creative leverage
    • The best tools make ambitious work feel possible.
    • AI should expand human taste, not flatten it.
  • Own the ambiguity
    • I like work where nobody has the full map yet.
    • Find the signal. Make the call.
  • Keep loops tight
    • Engineers should talk to users, not just read tickets.
    • A small real signal beats a polished assumption.
  • Hire for slope
    • Learning speed, ownership, and taste over pedigree.
    • Low ego when wrong. Hold the line when right.
  • Stay personally weird
    • Songs, basketball, subway busking, moving countries: the non-work parts shape the work.
