I’m a design engineer. Most of what I work on sits between identifying a gap in how a team works and building something to close it.
My current role is Senior Demo Experience Engineer at Klaviyo. I lead the Demo Experience Architecture team inside Solutions Engineering, where we build the internal tooling and demo infrastructure that revenue teams use when working with prospects. The day-to-day is a mix of engineering, product management, and direct support for SEs running live demos.
Outside of work I’m building two side projects. Trunkline is an MCP registry that gives an organization a single endpoint for all the AI tools and skills its teams have built. Dewr is a physical-world exploration platform organized around what you did somewhere rather than how you rated it. Both are early.
I bird. Mostly along the Charles River and at spots like Mount Auburn Cemetery and Horn Pond. Absolutely legendary local birding.
I cook most nights at home, usually high-protein and umami-leaning, and I’m comfortable improvising with whatever’s in the fridge.
My father runs Dewar Guitars, a small luthier shop in Massachusetts. I help with the website and social channels.
I’d rather build the thing that makes ten other things easier than optimize the thing that’s already mostly working.
Visually, I lean early-modern: restrained, functional, and a bit optimistic about technology.
The problems I find most interesting right now are at the edge of what AI can actually do outside of a demo or a lab. That’s where I want to spend the next few years of my career.
I want to spend more time building software and less time explaining it. The next role I take should put me closer to what ships.
Exploring New England, mostly coastal towns and mountains. Picking up photography. Lifting and running on a regular schedule.
If you’re working on something where product, design, and systems overlap, I’d be glad to hear about it.
