At 13, I learned that reading patterns correctly equals predictable results. That summer I started commercial fishing Bristol Bay, learning to read salmon runs, tides, and weather systems.

By 26, the lesson was clear: systems that predict behavior produce results. I've spent 25 years applying that insight — first to digital marketing and user behavior optimization at companies like Amazon, Whitepages, Alaska Airlines, and 23andMe, and now to AI-powered communications systems.

Today I build multi-agent systems and work with large language models to solve communications challenges. My focus is on behavioral psychology applied to how people make decisions — combining academic research with practical engineering to build tools that actually work.

Based in Seattle. Building things. Open to interesting problems where pattern recognition meets system design.
