Voice is not something you're given. It's something you keep finding.

I'm a writer. My essay practice A Voice Returned lives on Substack, and my piece "Learning to Tell the Truth to Those I Love" appeared in the New York Times' Modern Love. Both come from the same question: what does a machine that listens teach you about how to hear yourself?

I live with epilepsy. It shapes how I think about voice, memory, and presence — the Substack's name comes from the gap between a seizure and the self that returns afterward. The writing is a way of stitching that gap closed in public.

I'm also a leader in the AI space. I advise teams, communicate complex systems to wider audiences, and sit at the table where decisions are made on how we use AI to amplify humans instead of replace. I think that's a writer's job as much as an engineer's.
