A bit more about me

Personal Notes

I'm the organizer of my friend group — the one making sure we actually see each other. I love art and museums; wandering through one is one of my favorite ways to spend a free afternoon. And yes, I'm a Marvel Comics guy.

I'm also a Real Madrid fan through and through, a devoted Football Manager player, and a fantasy novel reader — if there's a movie adapted from a fantasy book, there's a good chance I've already read it. I work out a lot too; it's one of the few non-negotiables in my week.

Career

I started my career dabbling in a bit of everything. Writing first, then illustration, then graphic design, then motion and animation. Somewhere in there I realized it was never about the medium — I just like building things. Right now that's mostly focused on business operations: finding the most efficient way to get something done, while still holding onto an aesthetic component along the way.

I'm best fit for roles that let me learn while doing, that build solutions that actually help people, and that stay interesting to me.

Values

• 01

  Build, don't just think

  Ideas are abundant. Execution is the scarce thing. I am interested in building, not theorising.

• 02

  At scale or not at all

  Scale is not just a growth target but a design decision that must be made at the beginning. If the idea cannot work for thousands of people, I am not sure it is worth building.

• 03

  For people

  Every product, every tool, every decision has a person on the other end of it and should make at least one person's life better. That is the purpose of work and, by extension, life itself.

• 04

  Love and learn the process

  The outcome matters. But so does what happens on the way there — the iterations, the dead ends, the pivots. I am as interested in the process as I am in the outcome.

• 05

  Hard doesn't mean impossible

  Some things are hard, but that doesn't make them impossible, and we must become comfortable doing hard things.
