about

I started my first company at 12, at my local Google Startup Weekend (local coverage), with no clue what I was doing, still don't, I just think I do, but I was hooked. Kept showing up to those startup weekends every year in my hometown, and a few years later I stumbled into crypto by joining a startup that was born out of one of them, which somehow ended up putting me on stage at NFT.NYC and CES before I could legally drink, and some of those talks are here. All of that is what pulled me to LA at 19, where I co-founded a few companies, raised a little over $1M across them, and had a hand in startups backed by another $7.5M+, though honestly none of that is the interesting part. How I ended up in biotech and digital health is dumber than it sounds, I was sleeping in my startup's office most nights and the advisors who saw me there pulled me in, first at WinSanTor and now at Frequency Health.

Most of what I've built has failed, and every failure taught me something no classroom could. How to manage people. How to ship under pressure. How to check your ego at the door when the mission matters more than your title.

Now I'm Head of Product at Frequency Health, a digital health and AI diagnostics company building software based diagnostics and therapeutics for the hearing industry. Our first consumer product was Audio Cardio, a mobile sound therapy app I still run product for alongside my buddy and CEO Chris. The two we've built since go the other direction and sell into clinics who use them to treat patients, both of them FDA-cleared, one being Tinnitogram, an audiometer that reads 67 frequency bands where the industry standard is only 6 to 11 so we can catch the hidden hearing loss and tinnitus markers everyone else misses, and the other being REVE134, a personalized digital therapeutic that takes what we learn and pushes precision sound therapy straight into whatever frequency ranges are damaged. Before this I spent three years as Chief of Staff at WinSanTor, a late stage phase 3 biotech working to bring regenerative treatments for peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage) to market. Most of my days are spent shipping software, running operations, arguing with Claude/Codex, or finding any excuse to automate the low level admin busywork for companies building things that actually matter. I'm not the smartest person in the room. I'm the one who makes sure the room is pointed in the same direction, and that it's the right one.

Digital health and AI diagnostics company building software based diagnostics and therapeutics for the hearing industry. Parent company to AudioCardio, Tinnitogram, and REVE134.

Head of Product

Jun 2026 – Present

AudioCardio was our first product, sold direct to consumers. The two we've built since sell into clinics, who use them to treat patients: Tinnitogram, an FDA-cleared, AI driven fine grain audiometer that measures 67 frequency bands, where the industry standard is 6 to 11, to surface hidden hearing loss and identify tinnitus markers, and REVE134, an FDA-cleared personalized digital therapeutic that uses our patented Threshold Sound Conditioning technology to deliver precision sound therapy into damaged frequency ranges.

Day to day I manage the engineering team, own the Jira board, write epics and tickets, groom the backlog, and run scrum ceremonies.

I also lead our internal agentic automation work, building agents and workflows for the executive team with Skills, Anthropic's cloud agents, agentic SDKs, and adjacent tooling to take repetitive operational work off the team's plate.

Frequency Health's first consumer product, a mobile sound therapy app built to maintain and restore hearing and relieve tinnitus using our patented Threshold Sound Conditioning technology.

Technical Product Lead

Mar 2026 – Present

I lead product for the mobile app end to end: roadmap, epics and tickets, backlog grooming, and scrum ceremonies with the mobile engineering team. Over 1,000 monthly subscribed patients in the US.

I also manage product for our cross platform SDK, which powers our licensing partnership with Taisho, who deliver AudioCardio's therapy inside their own app. When it's needed I jump in and ship fixes directly across the app and the partner SDK, whether that's the cross platform mobile framework, the cloud backend, or the native low level audio components, so releases stay on schedule and partner integrations stay healthy.

ATTN.LIVE· 4 yrs 11 mos

ÂTTN.LIVE is a Web3 AI innovation company that empowers content creators and their communities to flourish.

Head of Web3

Jul 2022 – Sep 2022

Led product strategy for our Web3 initiatives and served as the company's public voice across major industry conferences: NFT.NYC, CES, NFT London, NFT LA, ETH Denver. Evangelizing how younger generations would reshape digital ownership and creator economies. I was simultaneously so wrong and so right: the specific assets were largely worthless, but the behavioral shift I was describing turned out to be very real. Short tenure, but a concentrated period of high visibility product and thought leadership work.

Product & NFTs

Sep 2021 – Jul 2022

Stepped into a product leadership role managing our engineering team alongside the CTO, owning the buildout and evolution of the ATTN.LIVE tech stack and platform. This was where I grew real confidence as a product operator: scoping features, coordinating sprints, and translating business goals into shipped code across a live product with an active creator community.

Entrepreneur In Residence

Nov 2017 – Sep 2021

I got this title because nobody could figure out what to call the 15 year old who showed up and said yes to literally everything. EIR sounds prestigious. In practice, it meant I was the technical Swiss army knife with zero ego who'd bounce between big ticket product work, low level admin, and helping set up chairs for events. The CEO was a co-producer of NFT.NYC, and I spoke at the inaugural conference in 2019 when the entire NFT space couldn't fill a room with 50 people. I distinctly remember Alex Atallah, one of the OpenSea co-founders, looking like he was about ready to close up shop. Then the 2020 bull market hit and suddenly everyone was a JPEG connoisseur. I also spent a good chunk of time troubleshooting .Kred, the company's core NFT platform that was technically an OpenSea competitor, emphasis on "technically," because the UI/UX was fighting for its life. Wild times, zero regrets.

FINEOS· 6 mos

Technical Intern

Jan 2018 – Jun 2018

Organized company JSON schemas, handled data entry, helped manage bug tickets, and did QA. This was well before the AI boom, and not gonna lie, I was 14 or 15 doing this so the work wasn't exactly mission critical.
