About

Built on two ideas: ship things and keep moving.

I've spent my career at the intersection of people and product. First as a product manager, learning what it actually takes to get something from idea to launch. Now as a mentor at Apple Developer Academy, helping students build the professional skills that technical chops alone can't give you.

Outside work, I build iOS apps — not as a side hustle, but because building things keeps you honest. You can't mentor someone through the hard parts of shipping if you've never been there yourself.

And on weekends, I run. Or bike. Or swim. Sometimes all three on the same day.

What I do

🎓
Current

Professional Skills Mentor

At Apple Developer Academy, I work with aspiring iOS developers and entrepreneurs on the skills that the curriculum can't fully cover — how to communicate your ideas, how to present your work, how to navigate a career in tech. The human layer of building things.

Former

Product Manager

Before mentoring, I was deep in the PM world — writing specs, running sprints, shipping features, and watching them land. That background lives in everything I do now: the way I think about user needs, prioritization, and what makes a product actually matter.

Ongoing

iOS Developer

I build and publish iOS apps independently. It's the most credible thing I can do as a mentor in this space — staying in the arena, not just talking about it. Two apps live on the App Store. Each one taught me things I couldn't have learned any other way.

Apps on the App Store

Two apps, real users, real lessons. Shipping them changed how I mentor.

Sip: Coffee Journal app icon

Sip: Coffee Journal

Lifestyle · Journaling

A personal coffee journal built for people who care about what's in their cup. Log your brews, track beans, capture tasting notes, and build a record of your coffee journey — one cup at a time. Built out of a genuine love for the ritual.

Tinypact app icon

Tinypact

Productivity · Habit Tracking

Build one small habit at a time, over 30 days. Tinypact strips away everything but the essentials: pick a habit, track it daily, keep your streak alive, and reflect after each check-in. For people who believe small actions repeated daily are how meaningful change actually happens.

Endurance

Life on the course

Endurance racing taught me the same thing mentoring and product work confirmed: the gap between where you are and the finish line is mostly a question of whether you'll keep moving. Talent matters less than people think. Consistency matters more than almost anything.

I've completed two Ironman 70.3 races — 1.9km of open-water swimming, 90km on the bike, and a half-marathon to finish. I'm also a marathoner with a few races under my belt. But the real goal, the one that sits at the back of every training session, is a full Ironman. 140.6km. The whole thing.

Let's talk.

Whether you're a student navigating your first career moves, a fellow builder working through something, or just someone who wants to talk about coffee, endurance training, or what it's like to ship an app solo — I'm here.
