General Manager of Program Management at AWL Inc. shaping AI-powered retail and edge computing platforms.

Japan

Message

At AWL Inc., I lead strategy and development for AI-powered retail and edge computing solutions that combine real-time computer vision, telemetry, and cloud infrastructure. I manage the roadmap for the telemetry platform and edge SDKs, and define architecture for real-time event processing and AI model deployment.

At Microsoft, I led product strategy, architecture, and planning for the Visual Studio Marketplace and VS Code extension ecosystem. I helped evolve Marketplace into a cloud-scale service and previously contributed to Xamarin.iOS tooling and its integration into Visual Studio and Azure DevOps.

As an independent consultant for Avalonia UI, I defined the vision, development, and go-to-market strategy for its VS Code extension, taking it from inception to launch in six weeks. Earlier at Xamarin Inc., I built tools for C# developers to build Apple iOS applications and developed a curriculum that I used to train over 60 developers.
