In academia

The person who walked between buildings. As professor and area chair, built collaborations across departments that didn't normally talk (data sonification with NASA scientists, Parkinson's research with neuroscientists) while teaching 1,000+ students.

In product

The same skill at company scale: aligning Engineering, Design, GTM, and executives around one roadmap, and acting as the differential gear between AI-accelerated engineering and the functions that move slower. Still ships code. Ongoing product and portfolio advisor to 14+ businesses since 2013, under NDA.
