Micro-habit for better focus:

Stop tab-switching while the AI "thinks."

When we use tools like Gemini or Claude, there is often a 5-10 second delay while the model processes or performs deep research.

Most of us instinctively use that micro-break to check notifications or scroll social media.

This creates "attention residue."

By the time the answer generates, your brain has already shifted context.

The Fix:

  1. Fight the urge to fill the silence.

  2. Sit with the problem for those few seconds.

  3. Read the chain of thought to understand how the AI is thinking.

  4. Watch the answer generate.

Retrain your brain to tolerate 10 seconds of stillness.

Your focus will thank you.

Product Management Leader | Ex-Microsoft | Building & Scaling 0-to-1 Products Globally

One of leadership's hardest disciplines is knowing when you have "enough" information.

We often fall into the trap of thinking that one more data point will guarantee a perfect outcome. It rarely does. 

It usually just delays the hard part: making the call.

I see this becoming a critical trap for decision-makers using AI. 

Because we can query endless perspectives, we often do ... hoping the AI will uncover a "perfect" path that carries zero risk.

But the best leaders use these tools differently. 

They don't use AI to endlessly weigh options; they use it to shorten the distance between a question and a decision.

In practice, this means: 

  • Stress-testing your hypothesis in 5 minutes instead of scheduling another meeting. 

  • Drafting the strategy doc you've been overthinking, then refining from there. 

  • Identifying the 2-3 factors that actually matter, not the 20 that feel comprehensive.

Don't let the abundance of insight prevent the courage to act.

Founding Engineer

Convoy Inc

Founding full stack engineer on "Convoy for Brokers" that began as a hack-week project and is now a large dedicated team. This zero-to-one project opened Convoy’s shipper-to-carrier marketplace to 3rd party brokers. We built a new service, ingestion pipeline, and webapp and integrated with the existing services, data model, and marketplace. I was one of two initial engineers and we grew to a cross-functional team of ~15 and launched with 10+ large partners over the course of a year.

Tech Lead - Convoy for Brokers

Backend development for Convoy Go, a program where Convoy supplies trailers and carriers just need to use the power unit of the truck to haul shipments.

- Built a new service that adds a "trailer job" to every Go shipment with a default route.
- Worked with PM and the operations team to come up with a plan for automating the default trailer routing plan for shipment lanes.
- Designed "Circuit Batches", a type of shipment batch that maintains consistent trailer supply. Implemented the first 3 phases of the trailer routing.
- Designed "Async Shipment Creation", an effort to break Convoy’s monolithic shipment creation API into a workflow. Successfully implemented the first phase of the workflow and migrated 100% of the Convoy Go team's shipment creation to the new model. Reviewed design with the ingestion team leads and got agreement to hand off ownership to that team.

Demonstrated value prop at the prototype stage with improvements in page speed and developer productivity and satisfaction. Presented plan to engineering org and drove adoption.
