Birmingham, Alabama, United States
I'm a Senior Product Manager at Harmony Venture Labs (HVL), passionate about solving tough problems with simple, elegant solutions and building impactful ventures. In my role, I leverage customer insights, market research, and competitive analysis to identify and validate new venture concepts. Collaborating closely with the Director of Product and Engineering, I lead the discovery process for these new ventures, driving end-to-end validation from initial problem discovery through to market testing, including conducting customer interviews, user research, and prototype demos. I own the full product lifecycle for studio ventures, focusing on scaling user adoption and working with marketing to define and execute go-to-market strategies. With high autonomy, I define the vision and value propositions for concepts, developing a deep market understanding across multiple industries. My work sits at the intersection of AI, product design, and compliance-heavy industries. I thrive on turning messy, detail-intensive workflows into clean, intelligent systems that feel effortless for users. I'm also deeply invested in Birmingham's growing tech ecosystem - helping position HVL as a launchpad for the next generation of vertical SaaS ventures.
I am a Mathematics Fellow at the Open Avenues Foundation, a nonprofit that partners with US colleges to provide students with industry-based, STEM-focused learning experiences. In this role, I design and lead applied mathematics projects that require the use of quantitative modeling, analytical reasoning, and problem-solving methods used in modern data and AI systems. I mentor students on formulating mathematical approaches to real-world challenges, guiding them through tasks such as building analytical frameworks, interpreting quantitative results, constructing models, and applying mathematical logic to evaluate solutions. I create project structures that help students understand how mathematical principles translate into data analysis, automation, and decision-making workflows used in technology products. My work relies on advanced mathematics training, including applied mathematical methods, data interpretation, model development, and rigorous analytical evaluation.
