Work

A novel in progress, the projects I've shipped, code I tinker with in the open, and the companies that taught me how to build.

Projects
2024+
29 — Novel, in progress
A literary science-fiction novel about what makes a life meaningful, how joy requires its opposite, and what it means to think for yourself. The rest comes from everything I've learned on Earth.
'17–'19
52 Stories
Long-form interviews with New Yorkers about why they moved to the city and the careers that brought them here. Fifty-two people, fifty-two reasons, one borough at a time. I lived on East 52nd Street at the time — and eight years later, my first address in Paris was coincidentally 52 Rue du Bac.
2019
Relax Coffee
A CBD-infused coffee designed for stressed-out corporate workers — calm without the compromise. From idea to production in six weeks, produced in Bloomfield, New Jersey.

Career
Amazon
Where I landed post-Little Bun. As challenging as Amazon is known for being, it wasn't anything close to how hard you are on yourself as a founder. I found it surprisingly peaceful, and got to work with businesses to sell and grow. I loved learning the systems inside Amazon's world.
Little Bun, Inc.
Founder. Took everything I learned at Harry's, raised a little venture funding, and built a food startup. A big lesson in all the wrong things to do, honestly — but I wouldn't trade it.
Harry's
Where I learned how to build new products and launch them into the world — with incredible, fun, kind people. When I showed up sick one day, a colleague said, "Go home. We're just making razors, not curing cancer." I also learned about quality and intention: a razor is five mini knives that people put on their face.
Morgan Stanley
Where I learned how emotional wealth management can be — that investing a person's assets ties to every desire and fear they could ever have. Also my first exposure to AI, through the Next Best Action system.
