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
