About

Senior Product Manager with 10+ years of experience owning platform and workflow-driven software used in real operational environments. My work has focused on building and evolving internal systems that organizations rely on every day, including operational platforms, automation layers, document processing pipelines, APIs, and system integrations. I tend to work in the messy middle where business rules, edge cases, data quality, and system behavior matter more than surface-level features. I specialize in translating real-world workflows into durable product behavior. That includes leading discovery with stakeholders, defining requirements and system logic, partnering closely with engineers, and carrying products through build, launch, and iteration. Much of my work has involved replacing manual or error-prone processes with software that is predictable, observable, and scalable. More recently, I’ve also worked with modern AI tooling to prototype automation systems that process unstructured inputs and support operational workflows. I am strongest in roles where product success is measured by reliability, adoption, and operational impact rather than growth experiments or marketing metrics. I’m particularly well suited for platform product management, integration-heavy systems, internal tools, workflow automation, AI-enabled operations, and other systems-heavy products that reward clear thinking and disciplined execution.
