Beyond Work

When I'm not busying myself with product, and AI, you'll find me either with headphones in, listening to the latest music, or reading fiction and non-fiction books alike.

My latest book was Bitcoin Billionaires by Ben Mezrich

I'm married, and a proud father to 3 amazing kids.

Always exploring new ideas in AI, product management, and technology.
