Beyond the Resume
Outside of work, I'm building an iOS app as a hobby project to solve my own problem: learning Japanese vocabulary. As a non-programmer, this project uses the latest AI prompt engineering techniques and puts me in the trenches of modern product development. I'm working directly with AI tools (Claude, actually) to build features, manage the development process, and iterate based on real user feedback.
This hands-on experience gives me something most customer support leaders don't have: I understand what it's like to be both the builder and the user. I see what product teams face when building features. I know the technical constraints that affect timelines. I experience the frustration when something doesn't work the way it should. This makes me better at writing documentation, building AI workflows, and bridging the gap between customers and engineering teams.
I combine deep customer empathy with technical understanding and hands-on AI experience. I've built support systems from scratch, scaled them with automation, and I'm ready to do it again at Quince.
