Approach

Understand the problem before opening any tool.
Research, business context, org dynamics.
The right question saves months of wrong answers.

Products, services, organizations.
From interface patterns to team structures.
The work that compounds over time.

Prototypes, production code, team capabilities.
I ship what I design and I build what teams need.
Curiosity and Claude Code keep the stack lean.

Writing

Why most company cultures can't say what's actually broken.

When AI amplifies individuals, the org chart becomes the bottleneck.
