About

I’m a Director of Product Design at AlphaSense, leading product design for AI-native workflows for financial services. AlphaSense already plays an important role in how many of the world’s largest companies make financial decisions. My focus is on how AI changes the work around those decisions, not just the research people consume.

Before AlphaSense, I led design across Prime Financing and Trading at Coinbase Institutional, building products for hedge funds, market makers, and asset managers. The work covered spot leverage, shorting, agency lending, and derivatives, and gave me a much deeper understanding of how institutional markets work.

Outside of work, I spend most of my energy reading about the economy and capital markets. I invest mostly in public equities, with stakes in a few private startups. I used to do more advising and consulting with startups, but I’m always down to talk about markets, businesses, and new ideas.

If you knew me before, it’s likely from my work at Compound or from building this website. I spent four incredible years at Compound and left following its acquisition. I don’t have plans to rebuild this website anytime soon, but I’ll keep doing my best to keep it updated.
