Work Style

Async-First

I believe the best work happens when people have time to think deeply. I prefer:

  • Written communication over meetings
  • Screen Studio videos for complex explanations
  • Clear documentation over tribal knowledge
  • Flexible hours that respect different time zones and working styles

AuDHD Transparent

I have AuDHD (autism and ADHD combined), and I’m open about it. It’s not a superpower, just a different way of thinking. This means:

  • I work in bursts of high productivity
  • I use tools like Cleft to capture scattered thoughts
  • I appreciate clear, bullet-pointed communication
  • I may ask clarifying questions to avoid ambiguity

Responsible AI First

  • Every decision considers privacy and accessibility
  • I advocate for AI that includes, not excludes
  • Data minimization and user control are core principles
  • Transparency in all technical decisions
  • Making compliance feel human, not corporate

Communication Preferences

✅ Preferred

  • Slack for quick questions
  • Screen Studio for demos/explanations
  • Email for formal decisions
  • GitHub/Google Docs/Notion (whatever team uses)
  • Documentation in team’s preferred format

❌ Avoid

  • Surprise video calls
  • Meetings without agendas
  • Verbal-only decisions
  • Late evening messages expecting immediate response

My Strengths

AI-Augmented Builder

  • I’m not a traditional coder - I use AI to handle implementation
  • My journey from marketing → tech → privacy gives unique perspective
  • I help teams build responsible AI that’s actually accessible
  • I make complex compliance simple and human
  • I understand both the “what” and the “why” of product decisions

Neurodivergent Perspective

  • I see patterns and connections others might miss
  • I design for edge cases because I am one
  • I bring lived experience to accessibility discussions

Multi-Industry Experience

  • Hospitality → Tech → Compliance journey
  • Built products for 1M+ event attendees to Fortune 500 enterprises
  • Can wear multiple hats when required
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change
  • Focus on shipping compliant products that work

What I Value in Teams

Psychological Safety

  • It’s okay to not know something
  • Questions are encouraged
  • Mistakes are learning opportunities
  • Different perspectives are valued

Documentation Culture

  • Decisions are written down
  • Processes are documented
  • Knowledge is shared openly
  • Onboarding is smooth

Results Over Hours

  • Focus on outcomes, not time spent
  • Trust team members to manage their time
  • Celebrate wins, learn from failures
  • Sustainable pace over burnout

Red Flags for Me

  • “We’ve always done it this way”
  • Meetings that could have been emails
  • Lack of respect for work-life boundaries
  • “Move fast and break things” without considering user impact
  • Teams that don’t value diversity of thought

My Ideal Engagement

I thrive when I can:

  • Bridge technical and business perspectives
  • Implement governance that fits the company stage
  • Build responsible AI products that genuinely help people (especially neurodivergent users)
  • Work with teams who see responsible AI and compliance as competitive advantages, not blockers
  • Have clear goals while maintaining flexibility in approach

The best working relationships are built on mutual understanding and respect. This page is my attempt at transparency - I’d love to learn about your working style too!
