I’m currently the Head of Research at AirOps, where I study how large language models are changing the way people find information and make decisions with AI.

I’ve always been drawn to questions that sit just outside what I already know. Growing up during the period when the internet shifted from something people used at work or school to something woven into everyday life gave that curiosity a direction. It made it hard not to notice how much technology shapes culture, communication, and the way people understand the world.

That interest eventually led me to start my career in search engine optimization, where I saw how technical systems influence what people see, trust, and choose. Since then, my work has expanded across growth, research, and product, but the underlying focus has stayed the same: understanding how the internet shapes what people find, learn, believe, and act on.

I’m most interested in the space between how systems are built and how people actually use them. I like finding patterns, making sense of uncertainty, and looking at the same question through a technical, social, ethical, and product lens. The problems that pull me in are generally ambiguous and high-stakes: systems that affect what people know, how they decide, and how information moves through the world. My goal is to make those systems easier to understand, question, and improve.
