About

I ship AI products at scale, speak on stages across continents, and build open source tools people actually use.

Currently an AI Product Manager at T-Mobile, where I lead product strategy for T-Life AI — powering smarter experiences for millions of subscribers. Previously, I served as Founding Engineer at Zenduty and co-founded an ed-tech startup as CTO. I bridge the gap between deep technical execution and bold product vision.
