I'm a product leader who believes the best products are built like exceptionally complex LEGO sets; by understanding what you're building, then diving deep into each individual brick, pattern and connection, before bringing it all together. The difference? My instructions actually make sense.

My journey into AI product management began with a single moment: watching Google Assistant seamlessly book a hotel reservation on someone's behalf. Suddenly Tony Stark and Jarvis seemed much closer to reality, giving me a clear vision of what next-generation technology could achieve. I started as an engineer two decades ago and transitioned into Product Management 8 years ago. That demo sparked my passion to spend the last two years building AI-powered search assistants, LLM summarization tools, and recommendation engines that genuinely improve people's workdays.

I approach product management the way I approach football tactics and gaming strategy: by identifying reusable patterns that unlock speed and elegance. Whether I'm architecting enterprise search solutions or prototyping with Claude and Cursor, I'm always hunting for those patterns that make complex problems feel solvable.

What drives me most is that moment when a user realizes a feature I built just solved their problem. I'm a servant leader who measures success by my team's growth and our users' delight. Outside work, you'll find me immersed in anime, gaming, or football (the real kind, with actual feet), working on AI side projects, or being persistently interrupted by two opinionated cats who've made it their mission to ensure I take regular breaks.

Always up for conversations about AI, Product, the latest anime or the latest action RPG.
