About

14+ years shipping consumer products at scale, most recently at Amazon and Disney. Most of my career has been about the messy, rewarding work of taking something from zero to one: growing Disney Movie Insiders from a prototype to 10M users, rebuilding Ring and Blink's authentication platform for 300K+ daily sign-in users, and shipping internal AI and compliance tooling that changed how Amazon product teams work and ship with privacy in mind. I've spent a lot of time at the intersection of technical complexity and human experience, translating hard regulatory and engineering constraints into products people want to use. I'm drawn to products with real scale, where the stakes of a bad decision are felt by millions of people and the upside of a right one is just as large. AI has compressed every step of how I work: research, design, build, test, measure, repeat. It hasn't changed what I optimize for, which is still earning user trust and shipping things people actually want. Gaming has been a constant. I started my career supporting Disney's MMOs, shipped Unity games in Shanghai, and spent years with game ideas I never had time to build. I finally am: building an unannounced mobile game solo on the side, owning everything from game design and art direction to implementation and playtesting. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and 2 kids, reading and building things with them. They keep me grounded and remind me to bring the best out of me as a person and a parent (at least I hope). I'm currently looking for my next Senior Product Manager role in consumer tech, entertainment, or gaming, ideally in the LA or Orange County area with hybrid, remote, or on-site.
