About

Hi, I'm Haiden. I'm a product leader, audio engineer, and former founder who works at the intersection of emerging tech and product development.

I've spent 7+ years building products across health tech, spatial computing, enterprise SaaS, and internal tools, usually at the 0-to-1 stage where the path is still being made.

My mantra is "always be building": prototype quickly, challenge assumptions, and learn from real users. After years managing products, I moved closer to the code so I could test ideas faster and shape the systems behind them.

Outside work, I'm drawn to the same edges: backpacking remote glaciers, building IoT hardware, experimenting with EEG sensors, and exploring where software meets the physical world.
