About

I am a technically fluent product and engineering leader who enjoys turning ambiguous problems into structured, measurable outcomes. I’ve worked across product management, UX research, and hands-on software development, often sitting at the intersection of technical teams and business goals. My strength is not just building systems, but designing the processes, metrics, and collaboration that allow teams to execute effectively. In recent roles, I've led cross-functional teams, trained early-stage founders, and implemented data-driven evaluation frameworks to standardize decision-making. I’ve also contributed directly to software projects and research efforts involving full-stack development, low-level systems, and cloud infrastructure—enough technical depth to ask good questions, spot risks early, and make informed tradeoffs. Alongside my professional experience, I'm completing a computer science degree with a focus on artificial intelligence and machine learning, which informs my work on data-driven decision-making, systems design, and research-oriented projects. I'm especially interested in roles where I can combine technical literacy with leadership: technical product management, engineering or program management, and early-stage startup operations. I enjoy environments where clarity, execution, and learning matter more than titles. If you're working on complex problems and value people who can bridge strategy, technology, and execution, I’m always open to a conversation.
