About
Toronto
I'm a product designer and builder with 10+ years in enterprise software, mostly fintech. Currently Lead Product Designer at Ripple Treasury (formerly GTreasury), where I'm leading the first major platform redesign in 8+ years — a system that handles billions in daily treasury operations for clients across 160 countries.
Before the $1B acquisition by Ripple, I established the product analytics practice from scratch, built a multi-brand design token system, and led research-driven design across the platform. I also ship production code — Python, FastAPI, React, and SQL.
On the side, I'm building Nodus — AI infrastructure that turns a chat window into a chief of staff. Knowledge management, agent orchestration, trust architecture — one dependency, local-first, open source. And I write Structured Thinking, exploring why design should formalize its knowledge the way finance did with FIBO and ISO 20022.
