Overview
Working With Me
My work style, values, and what to expect
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

Neurodivergent Perspective

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!
