04 / About Alex

I like making
things make sense.

I work from early research through product, design, and engineering. I build tools I would use, then look for other people dealing with the same problem.

My interests tend to meet in the same place: distribution, market discovery, learning systems, native apps, and the small details that make software easier to return to.
