What I'm looking for

I seek a technical product role where I can leverage engineering skills and SQL to define roadmaps, collaborate with stakeholders, and ship data-driven features in a growth-oriented team.

I am a product manager with a strong software engineering background and advanced SQL skills, focused on building user-centered digital products that drive business results.

At the Professional Disc Golf Association, I develop and communicate product strategy and roadmaps, define detailed product requirements, and coordinate stakeholders to deliver features that meet user needs and market trends.

I co-founded StatMando, a disc golf analytics platform that pioneered advanced statistics and user engagement; the company was acquired by the PDGA in December 2023, demonstrating product-market fit and successful exit execution.

Earlier I advanced as a .NET developer and led a small team building e-commerce and account portal solutions, responsible for databases, integrations, and internal/external tooling.
