Things I've built

Outside my day job I'm building an AI product, and I've started a business, published novels and designed a campus-wide recycling system.

Naomi

I'm building Naomi to help people get better at the conversations that move their careers forward. After every call, you get honest, specific feedback on what landed, what didn't, and what to say next time.

MINER Recycling System

As a sustainability consultant for UTEP's Green Fund, I co-designed a self-sustaining recycling system for a 72-building campus of 25K+ people. We raised $120K for the pilot, projected ~$150K a year in revenue, and won approval from the university President and Board of Regents for a five-year rollout.
