Professional Background
I am a process excellence professional with a passion for making complex operations scalable, repeatable, and accurate. I specialize in process improvement, program management, and business transformation — turning messy, costly workflows into lean, measurable, sustainable systems that scale.
With a background spanning global banks, fintech, and digital transformation, I have led initiatives that have accelerated revenue, slashed cycle times, and reduced risk for institutions managing trillions in assets. I bring the rigor of Lean Six Sigma, the agility of Scrum, and the dedication and passion of martial arts to everything I do.
Personal Interests
I am an avid fan of music and especially appreciate it live. I also dabble in making music myself.
I have been a practitioner for many years, studying Bok Fu Do — a dynamic, beautiful, and powerful martial art.
The Bay Area is rich with beautiful places to walk, hike, and bike, and I take full advantage of that whenever I can.
I have an enormous collection of timepieces and a particular love for mechanical automatics — watches powered entirely without a battery, wound either by hand or by the natural movement of the wearer's wrist. My favorite brand by far is Aragon. Invicta is a guilty pleasure — they make ridiculous pieces which irritate serious horologists.
I have been a daily meditator for many years. Mindfulness and personal growth are deeply important to me, and they shape how I approach both life and work.
