Building proprietary systems that drive strategic decisions

With 6+ years across Opendoor Technologies and ZS Associates, I've built the proprietary compensation infrastructure, internal products, and analytical frameworks that leadership depends on for decisions exceeding $50M annually. My work spans executive-level strategy — equity governance, international market entry, annual cycle design — and hands-on product development, having shipped 20+ internal tools that are embedded in daily operations across People, Finance, Legal, and Sales.

Build Don't Buy

Internal products that match commercial quality — my calibration tool was called "SaaS-grade" by the managers who use it

🎯

Zero-Error Standard

Every system ships with validation gates, audit trails, and automated QA — 100% payout accuracy across cycles

Automate the Repeatable

If a task happens more than twice, it becomes a tool — from Glean agents to automated earnings pipelines
