I love digging into problems — given x, solving for y, and achieving z — by working at the intersection of strategy, design, and technology. What has allowed me to excel in my career thus far is the combinatorial value of multiple aptitudes—emotional intelligence blended with analytical rigor; creative and divergent thinking accentuated by pragmatic application.
