Work Background
Community Capture CorpFounder | Chief Technical Culture Consultant
Aug. 2021San Francisco Bay AreaAt CCC, we uncover the invisible forces—values, rituals, communication loops—that shape how people work together, and we design new frameworks that align your technical ambitions with your lived reality. Most culture consultants don’t speak engineering. I do — and I build the human systems that make technical teams thrive. My work is story-driven, systems-literate, and born from a background in biomedical innovation, software engineering, cultural anthropology, community leadership. I help teams stuck in complexity recover flow, clarity, and creative momentum. When best practices have failed, I help you design your culture on purpose. Carrots and sticks may put up bricks, but shared stakes bake carrot cakes.
