My story (short, honest)

I didn’t inherit stability. I built it. Homeless at 23, I learned to create order inside chaos—skills I now use to build products, growth loops, and teams.

“Resilience builds strategy. Strategy builds momentum.”

From laying fiber in neighborhoods to co-founding a tool-sharing startup, I move fast from zero-to-one, then systematize one-to-ten.


I pair narrative with telemetry—clean UX, clear value props, and dashboards that tell the truth. Less ceremony, more signal.

Top skills

Divergent problem-solving
Unconventional paths that still measure clean.
Full-stack growth
Strategy → UX → content → SEO/CRO → analytics.
AI + automation
Lean systems that scale output without bloat.

My approach

Frame
I start with the job to be done. I map the journey, tighten the messages, and remove choices that don’t help. The first win should be obvious.
Focus
Defaults reduce friction. I prefer clear flows, light patterns, and copy that earns each click. Telemetry runs from day one.
Flywheel
I ship, measure, and iterate in tight loops—growing what works and pruning what doesn’t. Durable momentum beats flashy spikes.
