I lead product strategy and execution across software platforms, operational workflows, and physical products—aligning stakeholders, translating real work into JTBDs and requirements, and driving cross-functional delivery when complexity and risk are high.
What I’m known for:
-
Product definition that holds up: interviews and workflow reality → themes → JTBDs → validated problems → traceable business requirements → capability clusters.
-
Program-scale execution: multi-team alignment, delivery governance, and launch readiness from roadmap through UAT.
-
Modernization and growth impact: reducing cost and cycle time, improving operational throughput, and building momentum when priorities shift.

I’m a Technical Product Manager who helps teams deliver when the work spans multiple systems, stakeholders, and constraints. My focus is making decisions executable: turning real user and operational workflows into clear product definition—JTBDs, validated problems, and requirements—and then driving delivery with engineering and design through launch.
My background is intentionally cross-disciplinary. I started in aerospace/manufacturing environments where quality, timelines, and dependency management are non-negotiable, then moved into enterprise platforms and modernization at scale (Nike and 84.51°/Kroger). I’ve also built a patented 0→1 product and supported modernization and growth work for smaller businesses—experience that keeps me practical, customer-grounded, and outcomes-driven.
How I work
-
Structured, not bureaucratic: Minimal process that improves clarity and speed.
-
Technical and collaborative: Deep partnership with engineering on tradeoffs and constraints.
-
Calm in ambiguity: Clear plans, crisp decisions, consistent communication.
Career Journey
Hardware → Entrepreneur → Software
Early Career
Hardware + Aerospace Foundations
I started in aerospace and advanced manufacturing, delivering complex, high-constraint work where quality, timelines, and dependencies are non-negotiable. I led cross-functional execution, improved operational throughput, and worked in regulated environments—including programs requiring DoD Secret clearance. This chapter built my systems thinking: how to reduce risk early, align stakeholders, and deliver reliably.
What it gave me:
Execution Under Constraints.
Dependency Management
Operational Rigor

Founder Chapter: 0→1 Product + Commercial Reality
I became a founder to learn product the hard way—by owning outcomes end-to-end. I patented and launched a 0→1 consumer product, validated demand through testing and iteration, and built the commercial engine across direct-to-consumer and partner channels. This chapter sharpened my product judgment: ruthless prioritization, fast learning loops, and decisions tied directly to adoption and revenue.

Technical Platforms + Modernization
Today, I apply those foundations to technical product leadership across enterprise platforms and modernization work. At Nike (2x) and 84.51°/Kroger, I’ve led discovery and delivery for internal tools—translating real workflows into JTBDs, validated problems, traceable requirements, and capability models, then running cross-functional execution through launch. In parallel, I’ve supported small-business modernization and growth work, which keeps my approach pragmatic and outcome-driven.
