About me

How I work

Principles

• Tight feedback loops: talk to users, inspect data, form a hypothesis, test, ship, repeat. • Data oriented: champion tracking tools and data, only work with real user feedback, fully data-aware decision making. I optimise for clarity, speed, and outcomes that survive contact with reality.
