Bio
I’m a day-0 builder driven by curiosity and the satisfaction of making hard things simple. I’m motivated by challenging, novel experiences; I obsess over quality, I make sense of ambiguity, I move mountains, and I deliver with a good attitude because I love solving problems. At Dropbox I helped take Dash from rough prototypes to a flagship AI product by putting real foundations in place: clear interfaces, tight instrumentation, and fast iteration that turned user signal into momentum. When a release blocker turned out to live in Chrome, I worked with Google until a hotfix shipped to customers. When I uncovered a critical auth issue in Okta, they recognized it with a $5K bounty. Earlier at Microsoft I built cloud and ML systems for $1B+ Azure customers, and once designed a system to push Docker updates to a container ship in the middle of the Pacific Ocean over an ultra-low-bandwidth satellite link. Now I’m building Lekondo with the same zero-to-one energy: product-minded, systems-literate, measurement-rigorous, always iterating. Off hours I’m training for the NYC Marathon and exploring underground techno—same loop as my work: endurance, curiosity, and a drive for what’s next that never fades out.
