At Google AI Labs, I drive 0-to-1 products at the intersection of emerging Google DeepMind AI capabilities and consumer needs. I mainly focus on media, gaming, and consumer projects. My teams help train, fine-tune, and eval new DeepMind models, rapidly build consumer-facing products to test new product hypotheses (including UX innovations for simplifying LLM interactions), and identify ways to scale promising projects via Google's existing products.

GameSnacks was acquired by Google Ads in Jan 2022. It's a gaming platform that reached 30M+ monthly players at time of acquisition.

Post acquisition, spent a year integrating the product and team into the acquiring org, continued growing GameSnacks (including bringing it to YouTube via Playables product) and set up GameSnacks for long term investment and scale. We kicked off monetization in Nov 2022 and became revenue generating.

Pre-acquisition, pivoted across 4 casual gaming products over 2 years before finding product <> market fit and unlocking partner-driven distribution approaches. Led fundraising, the acquisition process, partnerships, recruited and directly managed the team, and built / designed the initial products with my co-founder.
