Hey! I’m Alex.
I currently lead international product design at Ramp in NYC. I previously led design at Actively AI (First Round, Neo), building a metrics intelligence engine for demand generation, growth, and customer success teams.
Before Actively, I designed at Ant Group in Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Singapore, working on the international Forex trading platform which trades $2 billion+ daily. I’ve also consulted for several YC startups and nonprofit data labs like DSSD. I conducted research on Mars solar arrays at NASA Langley during summers growing up.
On the side, I’ve built Corridor.app, a platform for audio rooms, and PackPen.com, a school supplies distributor.
Outside of work
I love traveling, running, skiing, and playing soccer. I enjoy studying philosophy and evolutionary biology (mostly Joseph Henrich and Daniel Dennett). I visit Asia often to connect with the tech scene there.
Before attending William & Mary, I took a gap year to work at a multinational trading/manufacturing company in Shanghai, Taipei, and Hong Kong, where I learned about international production and supply chain management.
