making complex things trustworthy and joyful

I build platforms and tools that make complex systems easier to understand and use—helping people see what’s happening, what’s getting in the way, and what to do next.

Case Studies
01 Payments Infrastructure

From “Which API do I need?” to production payment

I led product strategy across 66 payments products, connecting discovery, credentials, testing, permissions, reporting, and production readiness for 3,000+ clients.

02 Merchant Operations

Making merchant blockers visible

ISVs knew a merchant was blocked, but often couldn’t see why. I proposed a dashboard surfacing KYC and underwriting status, missing information, and remediation actions from 30+ interviews.

03 Agentic Payments

What needs to be visible before agents transact?

I run a research hub mapping the rails, standards, approvals, and operating models behind how AI agents pay, get paid, and recover when transactions fail.

Writings

Notes from the edge of systems and humans
