career compass

what's guided me, what's pulling me.

· what's guided me

  1. beginner's mind

    I've started over more than once, from VP of product to a software engineering fellow, then entry level to staff engineer. Being new is where I learn fastest, and starting over was the best thing I've done for my career.

  2. never stop playing

    The best work feels like play. Curiosity has taken me from neuroscience to product to engineering, and I still build things just to see if I can.

  3. connection compounds

    I stay a long time, at Brain Resource and now at BILL. The relationships built over years are what make the hard things possible.

· what's pulling me

  1. technology that serves humans

    I currently build our AI platform at BILL. I'm most inspired by the transformation I know AI will have on health and medicine. I want to be part of that.

  2. sports in san francisco

    Growing field hockey, and women's sports more broadly, in the city I love.

  3. building with other builders

    Fractional collaborations with other solopreneurs, and building Varia.
