Turning ideas, attention, and ambiguity into scalable growth

Building something great is half the battle. The other half is getting people to notice, care, and convert. My experience spans both founder and team settings (pre-seed to Series D), where I've owned and executed the strategy, content, and systems that make results repeatable instead of lucky.

How I Work, Think, and Scale
So here’s a bit more about me. All hand-typed, so there’s no AI slop here.
01
I’m a big proponent of rapid experimentation, feedback loops, and doubling down on what works. Everything I do is data-driven because a “good idea” is only as “good” as the market’s response. A few years ago, I spent weeks creating a beautiful campaign that flopped the day it launched. The next day I made an ad in 30 minutes and it ended up spending $10,000 and returned $30,000 at a 3x ROAS. Point being, it’s far more efficient to experiment quick and let the data decide what deserves more time, resources, and attention.
02
I constantly get ideas and random inspiration when I go about my daily life and I don’t know how to turn it off. Whether I’m walking my dog, scrolling my feed, or showering. It’s a gift and a curse.
03
My toolstack is heavily AI-centered, but I’m very anti AI-slop. It’s painfully obvious when a company is using unpolished AI copy, landing pages, images, etc, and it’s a really bad look in my opinion. It only takes a few minutes in additional prompting or editing to fix this, and many people don’t. Whether generated with AI or not, all work deserves a quality check.
04
I pursued a finance degree over marketing because I thought I’d be frustrated by the curriculum. Everything I knew about marketing and growth up to that point had been self-taught through growing a six-figure business hands-on and repeatedly going viral on social media. I figured the pacing would be too slow, too hands-off, and I’d get bored.
05
Maybe in another life I would’ve gone down the technical path. It’s really amazing seeing all the products that people are building in this AI era. While I’ve advised technical projects and have built and integrated several workflows of my own, I’m a believer of specialization and know that my time is best spent on what I’m good at: owning growth initiatives, capturing attention, and scaling revenue.
