I build products and get people to use them.

I run Soda Labs, where I validate, build and launch new bets for the company, most recently Sodabase. I also shape positioning and messaging for Soda’s launches and campaigns.

Before that, I led developer advocacy at NannyML and worked as a data scientist. I studied physics, with detours through electrical engineering and industrial design.

I’m writing The Little Book of ML Metrics (1K+ GitHub stars, 127 pre-orders), which goes to print in December 2026.

  • Customizable data quality dashboards. I was the PM.

  • 292 data science flashcards, improved daily by an AI agent.

  • Realistically dirty synthetic data for testing pipelines.

  • A study of how ML models degrade over time.
