What I'm looking for

I’m open to contract and fractional roles.

At Epic Systems, I built the company’s first AI design system across 80+ clinical applications used by 1.5M clinicians monthly. I also co-defined Epic’s 10-year AI roadmap with executive leadership.

At Optivoy, where I’m currently co-founder and COO, I helped build the founding demo MVP for an AI loyalty and perks platform and earned buy-in from about 20 C-level executives. I’ve worked hands-on across product, engineering, and release quality.

I founded Float Studio and took 15+ early-stage AI startups from concept to launch. The studio delivered investor-ready MVPs in 10-day sprints, helping founders raise more than $1M in pre-seed funding and win pilots and early users.

At Okaya, I led zero-to-one product design for an AI mental health platform adopted by Air Force units and selected for a U.S. Space Force pilot. I translated interviews with military leaders and end users into product priorities, balancing clinical standards, security, and usability.
