Profile

Over the course of my career in payments, I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of roles spanning sales, operations, partnerships, product development, and payment technology. That experience has allowed me to see the industry from several different perspectives and, more importantly, understand how those perspectives connect. I’ve seen how decisions made in product affect sales, how sales decisions impact operations, and how operational realities ultimately shape the merchant experience. That cross-functional view has become a major part of how I approach new products, partnerships, and opportunities in the payments space.

In my spare time, I enjoy combining my passion for technology and sports by developing fantasy sports management tools. These projects allow me to explore data analytics, automation, and software development while creating innovative solutions that simplify decision-making, enhance player evaluation, and improve the overall fantasy sports experience. It's a rewarding way to continue sharpening my technical skills, explore emerging technologies, and turn personal interests into practical, data-driven solutions.
