About Me

I'm an American based in Shanghai, with over a decade of experience building digital and experiential products across China and global markets.

At Klarna, I lead product development on shopping features like Image Search, used by millions worldwide. Before that, I ran Le Wagon China, launching and scaling tech education programs across Shanghai and Shenzhen.

On the side, I help build digital solutions for startups, VCs, and founders. Whether it's designing user experiences that convert, building MVPs that get to market fast, or bridging the gap between technical possibilities and business goals — I work with teams who need someone who can both think strategically and execute hands-on.

Apart from work, I'm a husband, dog owner, and competitive athlete. Currently training for a sub-60 Men's Pro Hyrox time. IYKYK
