About Me

Two lines guide everything I do: “Inspiring the change you always wanted” and “Being the leader you always wanted.” I've always believed the best way to move a team or a project forward is to make the people around you feel capable enough to lead themselves — sometimes that means quietly clearing the path, sometimes it means loudly fighting someone's corner. Either way, the goal is the same: people leaving feeling more empowered than when they arrived.

I build for people I care about first. 1001 Albums and Oddball Records started as tools for real communities — friends who needed something that didn't exist. That's the filter I apply to every project: does this solve a real problem for people I'd want to help? If it passes that test, the second question is whether it can leave something lasting — a workflow, a community, a standard — that outlasts the code itself.

My approach is deliberately incremental. I break every project into the smallest deliverable that still means something — ship an MVP, learn from it, build the next one. Not because I can't think big, but because I've seen what happens when you try to build everything at once. Small wins compound. They also keep teams moving, which is half the battle.
