the lane #

Product lead I turn ambiguous technical bets into a product surface, a roadmap, and a shipping loop.
Engineering peer I read code, write code, test claims against the repo, and keep the product conversation honest.

The useful part is the combination: product taste, systems thinking, technical breadth & depth, efficient operations, and passionate leadership.

how I work #

content Start with the user-visible shape. Name the thing. Make it concrete enough to argue with.
config Make intent explicit. Keep knobs boring. Leave a trail humans and agents can read.
code Use the simplest system that can carry the work. Verify it against customers, the repo, and the UI.

Small tools. Clear interfaces. Agents as workflow. Receipts in the repo.
