My
Profile
Senior Product Manager with nearly 10 years of experience building enterprise SaaS products for federal, defense, and healthcare markets. I have directly driven over $45M in contract value, launched a company's first AI product, and grown active users through workflow-driven product decisions. What sets me apart is technical depth - I build and ship web apps with React and Next.js, prototype with real code instead of mockups, and operate at the intersection of product, engineering, and customer operations.
