What I'm looking for

I seek product roles where I can lead AI-driven discovery and platform strategy, work cross-functionally, and scale systems that shorten discovery-to-delivery timelines.

I am a Senior Technical Product Manager with a decade of experience driving product strategy and 0-to-1 execution for enterprise and aerospace clients. I have partnered with brands like Nike, Kroger (84.51), and major aerospace firms to align global teams and deliver measurable impact.

I designed and implemented an AI-powered discovery engine that synthesized user interviews into insights, themes, JTBDs, and MVP definitions, cutting discovery cycles by 75% and producing 350+ traceable business requirements to accelerate platform rebuild planning.

My work spans end-to-end product ownership: leading MVP builds for modular SaaS ad tech platforms, migrating services to Azure and AWS, and launching order-management platforms that saved millions and improved fulfillment metrics. I standardize discovery and delivery practices to increase engineering throughput and delivery reliability.

I bring a hands-on technical toolkit (AWS, Azure, React, Node.js, APIs, LLMs) and operational expertise (Lean, Six Sigma, CI/CD, Jira/Figma) to create scalable systems, improve product-market fit, and drive revenue growth across B2B and B2C initiatives.
