AI-native builder

Building intelligent systems for underserved markets.

Building AI-native products at the intersection of emerging technology and underserved users. For the past 5 years, I've been shipping safety features at Google Chrome to billions of users. Before that, I spent 10 years building fintech products in Africa — co-founding a company, leading product at another, and contributing to investigative journalism tech infrastructure.

I'm currently focused on how AI agents can be safely deployed in high-constraint environments: e.g. limited connectivity, resource-scarce devices, and markets where trust is earned differently.
