> Exploring ideas, building with AI, and writing about what I learn.

Product builder, founder, and data leader · New York

Product builder, founder, and data leader with expertise in developer tools, platforms, data products, and consumer marketplaces. I built AI and data products at Stripe, founded Supaglue, a developer-first integrations platform that exited to Stripe, and scaled Lyft's analytics and data science teams from 5 to 100+, from Series C through IPO. I studied economics and computer science at Princeton.

I teach "AI-Powered Product Analytics" on Maven, and occasionally I write about data, AI, and technology.
