Work Experience
From working as a Product Manager and Software Engineer, and wearing a Design hat, I move ideas through launch. By framing the customer and business problem, shaping a solution with the team, and seeing it through with a technical understanding, I guide projects to done. For a detailed work history, see my Resume.
Case Study and Demo
As a PM at my previous company, I revitalized my stalled-team by incorporating the "Shape Up" methodology in our process. Afterwards we sustainably over-delivered, launching two v1 products and many iterative features. I wore both a product and a design hat, and carried a technical understanding with the engineers. My contributions are visible in a Case Study of our first product. Vibecoding with Claude AI, I also created a Demo and published the code repo.
