Building to empower.
I believe that happy makers make better. Everything I launch, I launch to make their lives better and make it easier to share their creative voice.

Axioms · What I Believe
n=3Bringing teams together.
I think swarming together beats hand-offs and silos. I love bringing disparate units of a business together to find harmony and efficiency in the ways they work.
Cleaning up clutter.
Efficiency soothes my soul. Few things make me feel better than launching something that cuts out extra work, both for a user and for the back-end.

Dispatches · Selected Work
n=4AI in the newsroom
Launched article summarization and text-to-speech across Hearst Magazines, and am building an agentic workflow on top of our internal design system so editorial and product teams can ship branded experiences without a front-end hand-off.
Real-time planning & collaboration
Launched a new in-house content planning platform for The Wall Street Journal, uniting several app-silo'd workflows across a global newsroom into a single real-time tool — first sprint to global launch inside a year.
Shipping meets audience
Coded an internal dashboard at Hearst pulling from GitHub, Looker and our own APIs to tie specific feature launches to audience impact — so product and editorial can see, together, which shipped work actually moved the numbers.
Search & structured data
Led front-line work on tagging, metadata and structured data for WSJ.com search — and a partnership with Amazon to bring a WSJ internal tool to the public for the 2020 Election, using custom taxonomies and NLP to turn millions of transcripts into a searchable database.
