Product manager and technologist working at the intersection of emerging technologies, systems thinking, and social impact, building narrative intelligence tools and responsible tech for regenerative futures.

I believe that human culture and technology are in a bi-directional feedback loop: shaping, reinforcing, and evolving one another. With deeper understanding of the data around us, I believe humans can make better decisions (not just faster ones). In a time when AI is often used by monopolistic platforms and centralised powers to reinforce the status quo, I'm drawn to efforts that reimagine how technology can help us build more regenerative, just, and intelligent systems.

Over the past eight years, I've worked at the intersection of emerging technologies, systems thinking, and social impact. Most recently as Product Manager at Culture Hack Labs, I led the development of narrative intelligence tools and LLM-powered dashboards to help organisations in the Global South coordinate more effective social messaging. I'm fluent in translating complex needs into clear product strategies, and I'm not afraid to get technical when the work demands it.

From building emergency AR tools for first responders to researching post-capitalist economics and developing commons-oriented interventions, my work blends design, AI, and systems thinking to create usable, scalable, and responsible tech.

I'm especially excited by roles that allow me to collaborate across disciplines, apply technology with care, and build tools that improve how we relate to one another and to the natural systems we depend on.
