02 ABOUT
What I’m exploring.
I’m curious about how early-stage teams figure out what to build and who to build it for. I like seeing how they learn from their first customers and decide which opportunities to pursue.
I’m also interested in how small teams can use AI to simplify everyday work, and how they can test whether it actually helps.
