Highlights
I make products, do research, and design things. I'm passionate about building bridges between cutting-edge research and practical, human-centered applications.

Previously, I was the co-founder/CEO of Clew, where we made tools for digital work. Besides my own ventures, I've worked at Shopify, led a team building new products at Dropbox, and have an academic background in computational biology.

I also run UNMS, an independent product and research lab.
