What I'm looking for

Remote-first PM role on a technical product — ideally involving automation, AI, or operations tooling. Small-to-mid team where I can work close to the product and engineering, not just manage timelines.

My background is in electrical engineering and control systems, with a master's-level focus on automation, mechatronics, and system modeling. That technical foundation shapes how I approach project management — I understand what's being built, not just how to track it.

I've managed cross-functional teams across engineering, design, and marketing, run a multi-sport NGO from scratch (permits, sponsorships, logistics, led a team), and led projects in startup competitions, app development, and AI tooling.

Currently focused on PM roles at the intersection of technical products, automation, and AI — where understanding the system is as important as managing the people building it.
