What I'm looking for

I’m available for product owner roles, AI strategy consulting, and fractional leadership.

At Tortu, I’m developing AI-powered infrastructure and tooling to help independent creators and small media organizations compete at enterprise scale. My work includes product strategy for creative production workflows, open-source AI tooling, and advising on ethical AI implementation.

At Pixel Corps, I helped develop streaming protocols and production workflows as an exclusive launch partner for Google Hangouts and YouTube Live. I worked with Google and YouTube product teams to field-test features, and the work evolved into Google Meet.

Through Verge Pictures, I’ve produced narrative features and documentaries, including Bokeh, shot in Iceland and distributed globally through Screen Media Films. At Mylio Photos and Skylum Software, I led creative direction and product messaging for AI-powered photography products, translating complex features into accessible content.
