Audit
My first professional role. Audit gave me an early look at how businesses operate behind the scenes, from processes and controls to client work, deadlines and the details that keep an organization running.

Product, Projects & Business Operations
I joined Learnedly after studying financial planning, looking for a place where I could learn quickly and contribute. I reached out directly to the CEO and started as a content intern, working on video and learning content.
My role expanded as I learned the business. I moved into instructional design, then project management, and gradually took on broader responsibility across our products and operations. Today, my work sits across product management, project delivery and business operations, with a focus on understanding what the business needs and turning that into practical improvements.
Current scope: Product Management · Project Management · Business Analysis · Operations · Process Improvement · Automation & AI
A lot of the work is cross-functional. It can mean improving a product, mapping a process, defining requirements, coordinating implementation, fixing an operational bottleneck or deciding where automation can genuinely help. The common thread is moving between the customer problem, the business need and the practical work required to make the solution happen.
I do not have a software engineering background. Working extensively with tools such as Claude and Codex has made it possible for me to build useful products, tools and automations, but just as importantly, to use the technology as a learning source rather than treat it like magic.
My strength is understanding the business problem, mapping how the process should work, defining what a good outcome looks like, and using the right tools to turn that into something practical. AI-assisted development has expanded what I can build myself while pushing me to learn more about the technology underneath it, test more carefully and make better decisions with each iteration.
Turning loosely defined ideas into clear, usable outcomes and moving them from concept to delivery.
Simplifying recurring processes, reducing unnecessary manual work and making day-to-day execution more reliable.
Finding friction in how people interact with products, platforms and services, then improving the experience around it.
Making complex information easier to structure, manage and deliver clearly.
Using technology where it can meaningfully reduce effort, improve consistency or make a process work better.
“Automate the boring parts. Keep humans for the interesting ones.”
Some useful. Some experimental. Some probably unnecessary.
Money, but less boring
I studied financial planning and somehow ended up working in financial education instead. Latte Money is where I get to play with a question I care about: can basic money education feel more like something people actually want to use?
Small business websites
A few friends are very good at what they do and considerably less interested in websites, hosting and getting online. Sereno is my experiment in making that whole part simpler.
No itinerary required
I grew up loving the Long Way series. My trips are considerably less impressive, but the idea stuck: go somewhere unfamiliar, get out of my comfort zone, meet people and see what happens. This is where I write about it.
Get your stuff done
It started as a shared spreadsheet with friends in the summer of 2023. We could all see what everyone said they were going to do, and whether they actually did it. It was stupidly simple, and it worked.
There are usually a few unfinished ideas somewhere in the background. The good ones might eventually make it onto this page.
I have always been curious about how things work and how they can work better. I discovered online learning as a teenager and loved the idea that you could teach yourself almost anything. That instinct has stayed with me, but it has taken me well beyond education.
My path has not been especially linear. I started in audit, studied financial planning, and then joined a growing financial education company where my role expanded across content, products, projects, operations, customer experience, marketing and internal systems. Working across so many parts of a business taught me that I enjoy ambiguous problems more than narrow job descriptions.
I am particularly interested in the point where business understanding meets technology. I like getting close to a problem, understanding the people and processes behind it, and then figuring out whether the answer is a clearer workflow, a better product, some automation, or simply a simpler way of doing the work.
Outside work, I follow much the same pattern. I build side projects around things I care about, travel when I can, write about some of it, and keep learning whatever seems useful or interesting next.

LinkedIn (opens in a new tab)I believe managing money better can make life better, but a lot of financial education still feels like homework. Latte Money is my attempt to make it lighter, clearer and more enjoyable.
I liked the ease of scrolling through modern apps, short screens, one idea at a time, but wanted to use that interaction for finite, intentional learning rather than an endless feed.
A few friends with small businesses were great at the actual work and understandably had little interest in becoming part-time web designers. Through work and side projects, I had picked up enough of the web side to help.
Newer AI tools made it much easier to close the gap between knowing what a business needs and actually building it, so Sereno became an experiment in making simple, good websites more accessible.
Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman's Long Way series made travel look like one enormous excuse to get out into the world. I’m naturally more introverted, so travel became one way of pushing myself to do exactly that.
I rarely plan much beyond where I’m sleeping. I go, live in a place for a while, meet people, try things and write about whatever happens.
In the summer of 2023, a few friends and I made a shared spreadsheet for our goals. Everyone could see what everyone else had committed to and whether we were actually doing it.
We eventually stopped using the spreadsheet. The idea stuck.
No AI. No algorithms. No B.S. Just people, goals and accountability.
