I enjoy developing novel ideas and seeing them used by lots of people. I am comfortable in the messy boundary between exploratory research and production engineering, and I like to pull things through it. This goes from experimentation through to building the engineering platform and organization required to support users at scale.
Alongside the technical challenges, I am most satisfied building high-agency teams, working with exceptional people, and learning from them.
