For a small business anchored around data visualization, how people interact with information, or meaningful and thoughtful play, I bring a unique skill set that straddles product, UI/UX, design, and growth. I'm a technical leader in areas of LLM implementation, semantics (words!), visualization, and puzzle games. Founded In Other Words studio creating award-winning semantic games (IndiePrize, TIGA, Serious Play). Previously led SpicyNodes visualization platform reaching 350K+ users. Secured $295K NSF funding for technical innovation. Managed cross-functional teams up to 40 people, bridging technical capabilities with user engagement. In recent years, I've been an industry judge for CODiE, Serious Play, and Reimagine Education awards. I'd love to talk to startups needing leadership that balances creative vision with technical depth to handle challenges around complex information in intuitive, engaging products.
