At VALIS, I lead product direction and customer discovery, turning workflow challenges into product opportunities. I established the ROI framework that helped secure the company’s first customer and build a pipeline of over $5M; new features drove a 200% increase in single-facility contract value.

I’ve also built LLM-based agents for production briefings and internal market research. Earlier, at AMP Robotics, I managed roadmaps for three product lines and launched products and capabilities that accounted for 20% of 2022 annual revenue.
