About

I aim to spend my life working on problems that are worth understanding deeply and difficult enough that they do not come with a predefined playbook. I am drawn to the space between people, systems and ideas: understanding how something really works, getting close to the friction, and finding a way to make it better. Sometimes that means learning a technical system, sometimes speaking to people, thinking through economics, or building the first version myself. My path so far has moved across e-commerce, finance, consumer behaviour, sustainability and early-stage products. The common thread has not been a particular job function; it has been curiosity about how the world works and a willingness to take responsibility where something is missing. Over time, I hope to build things that are useful at scale, work with people who care deeply about difficult problems, and develop the judgment to contribute meaningfully wherever the answer is not obvious. I am still early in that journey, building breadth through interesting problems, while steadily developing the depth to take on larger ones.
