What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead customer-centered product delivery, translate complex business needs into actionable work, and partner with cross-functional Agile teams to launch and improve high-value products.

At PropertyGRID, I led the 0→1 launch of a tokenized real-estate investment platform that lets everyday investors browse, buy, and sell fractional real-estate assets.

I turn Salesforce, nCino, customer interviews, and stakeholder feedback into prioritized requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria. I managed a JIRA backlog of roughly 120 stories, increasing team velocity by 25%.

Previously at AgilityInsights, I enhanced a strategy-to-delivery platform used by more than 2,300 teams globally. I delivered three key features in six months, increasing engagement by 30%, and served as Product Owner and Scrum Master for three international teams.

At Alliance Bank, I supported modernization of commercial lending workflows by translating lending, risk, and regulatory requirements into nCino and Salesforce enhancements. I enjoy aligning cross-functional teams around practical product decisions, clear delivery plans, and user value.
