Product & Technology Leader · London, ON · Available for select roles
Product & technology leader building XR, mobile, AI, and marketplace products used by millions. A walk through the products, companies, and side projects I've shipped over the last nine years.
Chapter 01 · 2022 — July 2026 · Remote
Wellness across mobile, XR, phone and text for millions, turning research on consciousness and wellbeing into shippable software across every headset and surface.
TRIPP is where I spent the most time and grew the most. I owned product, AI, and technology operations across a multi-platform ecosystem, XR on Quest, PSVR2, Apple Vision Pro, Android XR, HTC Flow plus iOS and Android mobile, supporting millions of users worldwide. I led platform and AI-first strategy, turning research concepts into shippable features, and partnered closely with each platform partner at apple, sony, google, unity and many others. Along the way we launched and scaled Kōkua AI, TRIPP's multi-modal AI agent powering guidance, support, and voice-driven experiences, across XR, mobile, phone and text. This my most complex launch, and continues to innovate at a more rapid pace than any other feature I have ever worked on. It taught be so much on how to bring AI first products to market, from evals to safety fallbacks, I think we built something really magical with Kokua and I'm so proud of it, try it today.

Career Chapters · 02 → 04
Before TRIPP, three chapters that shaped how I ship product, run operations, and bring a founders mindset to every product I work on.
Chapter 02 · 2019 — 2022 · London, ON
A two-sided XR marketplace: consumer-facing AR experiences on one side, enterprise AR/XR development services on the other.
As co-founder, COO, and product lead, I ran a two-sided XR business: delivering consumer AR experiences while selling enterprise AR/XR development services, including pricing, packaging, and distribution strategies. I owned enterprise partnerships, sales, and monetization strategy, securing over $2.5M+ in multi-year contracts and built our AR applications and location-based installations used by thousands.
Chapter 03 · 2019 — 2020 · London, ON
Translating clinical research on the brain into product concepts and prototypes that clinicians could actually use.
As Coordinator and Research Manager for Innovation & Research at Parkwood Mental Health, I managed research operations dealing with sensitive and regulated data, and translated research insights into product concepts and prototypes. This is where my psychology and neuroscience training met product work.
Chapter 04 · 2017 — 2020 · London, ON
A physical VR lounge and creator community, turning a brand-new medium into a place people could actually experience the future.
Co-founder and General Manager. Operated a VR lounge and enterprise program delivering multi-player VR experiences, including community-facing content and creator-driven workshops. The origin story, where I learned to run my first business, and where the product-operator instincts started.
