About

I am a right-brained engineer – a creative thinker with a knack for data. As a mechanical engineer in Silicon Valley and as a product manager in medical devices, I learned how to bring human-centered design technologies to life and connect the dots across domains. My general background includes: Mechanical Design, Biomedical R&D, TPM, Product Development, Strategy, Policy, Film, AI & Accessibility. In 2024, the Senior Vice President of Walmart End2End Transformation & Innovation hired me to tackle one of the biggest problems in retail today: theft. I identified internal theft as a key lever and created a low-fidelity, short-term strategy that saved the company $24M, while serving the needs of Associates and meeting the company’s long-term goals. The solution is now operational in the U.S. and Mexico in select stores. Now I am finishing my Master’s at Stanford in Design as an impact entrepreneur, working to do the most good with my talents. My dream job is “Chief Synthesis Officer” in Big Tech – but I’m driven by in any opportunity where I can create elegant solutions to wicked problems. Small change. Big Impact. (Tall guy). Work with me. Let’s do good.
