I’m happiest in the gap between what users need and what engineering can ship — and I’ve worked on both sides of it.
Product lead and senior engineer with 9+ years building data and AI products for UN, humanitarian and private-sector teams. At UNICEF I led the frontend of Magasin, a Digital Public Good. At Optimal Dynamics I took an AI dispatching product from concept to v1 in four months and stewarded the company’s component library. Most recently, at Rescue.co, I owned the product lifecycle for an emergency dispatch analytics platform in Kenya.
