About

Building products at the
intersection of AI and impact.

I'm a product manager with 6+ years of experience driving zero-to-one product development across real estate tech, NIL platforms, and enterprise B2B SaaS. I've delivered $50M+ in business value and led initiatives that generated $48M in cost savings through data-driven strategy and cross-functional execution.

Currently completing my MBA at Wisconsin School of Business, specializing in Technology Strategy & Product Management. My focus is on AI/ML-powered products — from LLMs and RAG pipelines to generative AI stacks that create real user value.

I believe great products come from deep user empathy, ruthless prioritization, and shipping fast to learn faster. I'm actively exploring PM roles starting May 2026 at AI-first companies where I can own end-to-end product decisions.

◉

Start with the problem

User research before user stories — always.

◈

Let data drive decisions

Dashboards, A/B tests, and clear metrics at every stage.

⚡

Ship fast, learn faster

MVPs beat perfection. Iterate on real user behavior.
