      Feb 2026 - Present · 6 mos

      Me and my team have two simple goals: 1. Continuously improve the ADK product, and 2. Use the ADK to boost productivity within different departments at Botpress. Self-serving by design, we fix our own problems and solve larger ones along the way.

    • Technical Product Manager
      Jun 2025 - Mar 2026 · 10 mos

      I own product strategy and design for the platform and manage a team of product designers. I author PRDs, design interfaces, build POCs, create demos, and develop internal tools for benchmarking and evaluation. When needed, I reverse engineer competitor products to understand the landscape and inform direction. Having worked in engineering, product, design, and GTM, I can partner effectively with most functions—or move independently when speed matters. I support sales with technical expertise during deals, provide product knowledge to customer success for support escalations, and work directly with engineering to accelerate development. I go where I'm most useful. I represent the product to internal teams, external partners, and customers. Teaching myself the intersection of product, design, and engineering in AI. Currently focused on communication efficiency and absorbing more cross-domain knowledge. --- 35+ PRDs | 10+ screens | 1 evolving design system | 6+ POCs | 2 internal tools | 3+ products reverse engineered
