Hi. My name is Cody.

I graduated from Claremont McKenna College with a degree in Philosophy and German. With years of experience across hospitality, tech, and consumer product startups, I’m ready to make a lasting contribution to your team.

I am:

  • A dedicated strategist who loves to tell stories through data.

  • A certified project manager with a penchant for excellence.

  • A proven leader who thinks the impossible and does the unlikely.

My Goals

LIVE FULLY

I’ve had enough of doom scrolling through social media, consuming content that ultimately does nothing for me or the world. Instead, I choose to embrace challenge and try new things.

How I do this:

Frequent “dopamine detoxes”

Affirm I have the power to pivot and grow whenever I wish to

Gratitude and Leadership

LEARN ALWAYS

I cannot grow if I stay in my comfort zone, and I find myself to be most engaged when I am not stuck in routine.

How I do this:

Ask for help when I need it

Look into and explore anything that interests me

Seek to improve in everything that I do while also celebrating how far I have come

HAVE FUN

I choose to gamify and enjoy my work by regarding the work I do as an opportunity to address my weaknesses, flex my strengths, and work towards building something beautiful.

How I do this:

Lean into positive attitude

“Savor” the experience of being challenged by a task

Seek out team-based work when possible

NUTRUTE VIBRANT RELATIONSHIPS

I strive to meet new, interesting people and get to know them well.

How I do this:

Dinner parties. Coffee meetings. Ritualize activities. Find something to work towards together

I take the initiative to be the first one to say “hello”

Leave all communication channels wide open - if there is something I’m not doing right, let me know so I can fix it

My Interests

In my free time, you can find me playing tennis, learning for fun, and scouring the city’s coffee houses for the perfect flat white.

I have a lot of disparate interests, including: Generative AI, Payment Rails, Japanese Culture, Passort Design, Learning Languages, Rodeos, Glassware, Museums, Wellness, Milk Punch, Ancient History, Science Fiction, Lederhosen, Holistic Wellness, and more. These come up in various parts of my life and often arise unexpectedly. I’m still adding to my list of interests too.
