06 / Purpose

What if the best thing I build isn't for a company?

I've spent much of my career using technology to help companies better understand people.

I'm increasingly interested in the opposite question: how can technology help people better understand, experience and interact with the world around them?

The focus: technology that expands independence, communication, experience, connection and joy for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Already in the work

Purpose is already showing up in the work.

This is not a separate lane I plan to enter someday. It is already influencing which problems feel worth building around.
