Q: Tell us about your professional background.

A: I've worked in a variety of industries, including oil & gas, industrial robotics, and construction technology. In each role, I've focused on understanding customer pain points and translating them into actionable service or product requirements. Most recently, I drove the 0-to-1 development of ICON Technologies' internal BIM platform.

Q: What are you excited to run with at Nominal?

A: Defining what true value and success mean for us. I firmly believe a product thrives when its users thrive, and I’m excited to build strong relationships with our customers, supporting them in reaching their objectives.

Q: Why did you choose to join Nominal?

A: It’s all about the product and the team! I love working on products that bridge the digital and physical worlds. Delivering a software tool that enables hardware engineers to push the boundaries of physics is incredibly exciting. Plus, I stay motivated when I’m surrounded by high agency teammates.

Q: How would you describe your first impression of working at Nominal?

A: Every day, I’m increasingly impressed with the team’s clock speed. I've experienced clear communication, solid organization, and high productivity individually before, but never all together at this caliber.

Q: What is one thing you are obsessed with?

A: One product I've recently become obsessed with is my Parallele toiletry bag. I travel a lot and go to the gym regularly, and this bag has significantly reduced my packing time. I love telling fellow travelers and gym enthusiasts about it.

Q: How do you stay grounded?

A: My upbringing played a huge role in shaping my worldview. I was taught that people from all walks of life have something valuable to contribute and something they can teach you. Also, being a parent is pretty humbling on a daily basis, ha!
