To Products

I believe that software products we use to connect us have the power to shape our society and relationships. In everything I build and oversee, I carefully consider user privacy, security, and strive to follow best practices , avoiding dark patterns and notification overload. I believe the best products let people get things done in the real world, and get out of the way. They let people control what they receive notifications about, and pre-compute useful information when presenting an interface to the user. When I design group activities activities I try to make sure they lead towards a goal, building up a snowball of contributions, rather than having users rehash the same thing over and over. When it comes to regulations such as GDPR, I prefer tech solutions that solve the problem reliably, using hashes and cryptography. I believe that end-to-end encryption is the best way to alleviate the risk of massive hacks such as the ones at Equifax and Mariott and I help projects develop secure infrastructures through relying on mathematical proof rather than having to trust a group of people.
