I am a Group Product Manager at Google within the Google Play Developer organization. We build the platform that app and game developers use to publish and run their business on Google Play. I manage the most used CUJs on the Play Console, where millions of Android developers publish hundreds of thousands of app updates to billions of users every day. We build the tools so they can launch confidently, helping them build high-quality, policy-compliant apps.
More broadly, my work bridges high-stakes platform governance and technical optimization, whether translating complex antitrust injunctions into compliant product experiences, leading the cross-functional governance and automated risk systems to lower service fees for millions of developers, or tuning the precision-recall trade-offs of machine learning classifiers used to rank and boost apps and games on Play.
The rise of generative AI has reignited my interest in building on my own—learning to use these tools as a practitioner first to solve my own real-world problems, so I can lead my teams to use AI as a force multiplier.

Goodnumbers.net
GoodNumbers is an experimental weekly journal to help type 1 diabetics reflect and improve their blood sugar levels week to week. It uses a mix of good old statistical analysis to help you zero in on troublesome trends and identify patterns. It then leverages AI to help you reflect on strategies to address them. Use it for self-reflection, to find your blind spots in your diabetes management, and to continuously improve.
SmartyComics
I love reading digital comics, but viewing full pages on a phone is an annoying cycle of constant zooming and rotating. I built SmartyComics to solve my own problem: it automatically processes comic archives (.cbz) so you can fluidly swipe through panels instead of pages. Behind the scenes, it uses computer vision (YOLO) and Vision-Language Models (Gemini/Gemma) to detect panel bounds and construct a directed graph of the narrative reading flow, automatically optimized via a local AI evaluation judge.
AI Chess Tutor
I'm learning chess and building an AI tutor to help me. It features real-time AI coaching powered by Stockfish, opening training, and 9 distinct tutor personalities designed to teach strategic principles. The web interface is fully optimized for mobile devices.
Pretty Good Monte Carlo
A lightweight Monte Carlo simulation engine for Google Sheets built entirely in Google Apps Script. It runs randomized trials of multiple input variables locally in the spreadsheet, keeping data secure without any remote sharing. I wrote this myself without any AI.
