Get to know me

More Than Just Work

A glimpse into my life outside of the roadmap — my background, my passions, and how to get in touch.

My Background

I grew up fascinated by how things work, which pulled me from taking apart old electronics toward building products that solve real problems. That curiosity became a career in product — owning roadmaps, untangling payments and platform challenges, and turning ambiguity into decisions teams can rally behind.

Along the way I've learned the importance of empathy in design, the power of cross-functional collaboration, and the thrill of seeing a complex initiative come to life. When I'm not working, I'm usually exploring new ideas — through a book, a conversation, a new tool, or the Central Coast trails near San Luis Obispo.

What's next

The role I aim to pursue…

I'm looking for a position where I can apply the strong discovery frameworks I've built across my career to solve the problems that drive key business outcomes. I want to leverage my empathy for both users and internal teams to tackle tough, ambiguous problems — while helping those around me realize the efficiencies made possible by cutting-edge technologies.

How I Work Best

The principles that shape how I show up for a team and a product.

Learn by doing

I build product intuition through hands-on experience — getting deep into the product itself and learning directly from customers through discovery conversations rather than from a distance.

Own it, stay fluid

I take full ownership of my responsibilities and thrive in fluid, adaptable teams. I lean on shared accountability and momentum over heavy structure and rigid process.

Partner across the org

I have a track record of interfacing directly with enterprise accounts and a long history of strong, trust-based partnership with engineering — turning that collaboration into shipped outcomes.
