An introvert's guide to building in the open
Healthcare Technology Journey
For over a decade, I've been immersed in healthcare technology, working at the intersection of innovation and patient care. This experience taught me how technology can truly make a difference in people's lives when thoughtfully implemented.
Now in customer success at a startup, I help organizations achieve their goals while bringing that healthcare perspective of putting people first.
Embracing AI & Taking Action
I got tired of reading about AI, listening to podcasts about productivity, and making plans about making plans. 2025 was my year of action — learning AI tools hands-on and actually building. In 2026, I'm taking it further by building a B2B SaaS product end-to-end using Claude Code.
Building in public has become my way of staying accountable and sharing the real journey - not just the highlight reel, but the messy, iterative process of learning and creating.
Life in Kansas City
When I'm not working or building, you'll find me practicing yoga, DJing, watching Survivor with my wife, or traveling to new places. Our two kittens, Pepper and Poppy, keep us entertained at home in Kansas City.

Done with endless planning and consuming content. It's time to build, create, and make things happen in the real world.
