## About

```text
At Codex Growth, I run product discovery on CRM lead data and define requirements and roadmap priorities for the agency’s internal tools. That work helped shift the client pricing model from flat fees to revenue share.

I also shipped an automated PDF proposal and reporting pipeline used across client engagements. I manage the client lifecycle, from onboarding and pricing design through delivery and off-boarding, and mentor two junior developers.

Earlier, at AppFolio Investment Management, I partnered with product managers across three teams and was trusted to lead backlog grooming and scrum ceremonies. I also built customer-focused experience as a full-stack engineer at Silver Stream and through SB Chime.
