What I Do
I specialize in enterprise software product management with a focus on AI, Search, and Observability. My approach centers on understanding how engineers work and building features that enhance their daily workflows.
I've shipped products at companies ranging from emerging startups to enterprise-scale deployments, always prioritizing rapid learning and rapid shipping to deliver features that engineers love and actually use.
