What I'm looking for

I'm looking to own product strategy and delivery in an ambiguous, high-stakes environment where I can turn customer and stakeholder needs into measurable outcomes, work cross-functionally, and build AI-informed products.

I've owned end-to-end product work across Aridian, Apple, and the United States Air Force, turning ambiguous operational problems into scoped, measurable solutions.

At Apple, I defined requirements and cabling standards for 535 custom server builds supporting a $402M cloud-infrastructure expansion, redesigned repair-versus-disposal criteria using lifecycle data to recoup $28M annually, and helped launch a resale and recycling revenue stream managing $3.1B in asset value. At Aridian, I'm building a B2B operational-monitoring SaaS platform, leading customer discovery, MVP scope, architecture, roadmap, and business planning as a one-person product organization.

In the Air Force, I led requirements, vendor coordination, rollouts, and cross-functional programs that restored allocation approvals, improved compliance, automated manual tracking, and delivered multinational readiness six weeks early. I'm continuing to deepen my AI product capabilities while preparing for an M.S. in Artificial Intelligence.
