What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own product and data-roadmap outcomes end-to-end—translating stakeholder needs into prioritized delivery, partnering cross-functionally, and leading teams to build decisioning and data platforms that scale.

I’m a Product Owner who builds and prioritizes data and product roadmaps that turn complex stakeholder needs into shipped capabilities. At MeritAdvisors, I own the product roadmap for an AWS data layer using a medallion-architecture store on S3, Redshift, and SQLMesh, integrating a dozen-plus source systems into a single source of truth. I also lead an engineering team with two direct reports, driving delivery, prioritization, and growth.

Previously, I delivered decisioning strategy updates and continuous optimization at Jenius Bank, and I implemented a centralized campaign data store to address data fragmentation while supporting compliance. Earlier, at Walmart, I owned learning & talent products, leading the development of a centralized, queryable learning database that enabled on-demand content retrieval across the organization—serving over a million queries and improving the experience for over 1.3 million associates. I started as a Product Manager for cloud evaluation and iOS/desktop applications, and I bring an agile, outcomes-first approach rooted in practical engineering thinking.
