AI Productivity & Tooling Coaches, Events, and Resources

I built AI-powered features at Tiktok for growth & content. Also taught Vibecoding classes on the side

Welcome to my profile! With over two decades of experience in product design and leadership roles at top companies like Google, Twitter, and Amazon, I specialize in leveraging AI to enhance productivity and tooling. As the Sr. Director of Product Design at Travelers, I am leading strategic design initiatives focused on AI that have contributed to significant business growth. My expertise lies in creating user-centric, scalable design systems that balance innovation with business objectives. Whether you're looking to optimize your product design processes or integrate AI-driven solutions, I'm here to guide you. Let's connect and explore how I can help you achieve your goals!

Note: Opinions are my own, not my employers With a robust background in AI and product strategy, I bring a wealth of experience from top-tier companies like Microsoft, Google, and Andreessen Horowitz. At Microsoft, I played a pivotal role in shaping the Responsible AI Strategy, focusing on model explainability and fairness. My time at Google Brain involved cutting-edge deep learning projects in medical imaging and robotics. Currently, I mentor founders at Andreessen Horowitz, guiding them on product development and fundraising. If you're looking to enhance your AI productivity and tooling strategies, let's connect and explore how I can help you achieve your goals!

Coming from a non-technical background, I taught myself AI through hands-on experimentation, “vibecoding” functional prototypes, and staying on top of the latest tools and developments. I understand exactly how to make this technology accessible, practical, and impactful for anyone. I've advised Fortune 500 companies, startups, and research institutions on using AI to streamline workflows, improve decision-making, and launch entirely new products. My work spans AI strategy, product development, and automation, always with a focus on turning cutting-edge capabilities into real-world results.

As a solopreneur, AI productivity is a critical part of my day-to-day, taking care of large parts of my business so I can focus on the most important things. Can't wait to talk with you more and see how we can use it to free up time in your life. I've spent the last few years studying/working at Stanford while applying AI to all aspects of my work and career. I’ve built state-of-the-art AI systems in real-world settings—from agent models for a boutique investing firm to the first AI mental health coach with functioning long-term memory. Alongside this work, I’ve taught and facilitated AI courses at Stanford, helping students master machine learning and generative models. My focus is on turning advanced tools into practical, working products and coaching others to do the same.

I coach mentees, product managers, and founders on the latest AI automation tools (Cursor, Zapier, n8n, vibe coding tools such as Figma Make, eval tools such as Anthropic). I’ve helped organizations and mentees save hundreds of hours a year using these tools to automate workflows, status updates, document creation, and backlogs. Expertise of how and when to apply to these to your daily workday as well as to your business can give you a significant advantage over the competition and help land $200k-$300k+ compensation roles in AI and product management. I use these tools in my principal product manager position today to run a $26B revenue stream at Nike to save several hours in daily admin tasks, to speed up the product development lifecycle with stakeholders, and to properly evaluate AI agents in real-time.

As a passionate advocate for leveraging AI and machine learning to drive growth, I bring a unique blend of experience from my roles at Leland and Soma Capital. At Leland, I focus on growth strategies, while at Soma Capital, I scout for early-stage talent in the tech space, including AI-driven startups. My background in management consulting with Deloitte has equipped me with the skills to analyze and implement innovative solutions. I'm excited to help you navigate the AI/ML landscape and achieve your career goals. Let's connect and explore how I can support your journey!

My expertise isn't just about knowing what a tool does; it's about understanding how to stack them together to build a real, automated system. I've seen so many people get lost trying to find one "magic" platform. My theory is that the real power comes from using "glue" platforms like N8N or Make to connect the tools you already use. It's about designing an entire, visible workflow—letting your data in Airtable or your processes in Notion talk directly to your sales outreach in Smartlead. I've used this exact approach to solve complex, real-world problems, like automating a client's entire purchasing order system. We took a 40-hour-a-month manual nightmare and cut it down to five. I believe these visual, node-based tools are a game-changer because they let you see your process, taking automation out of a "black box" and putting you in control.
