Product Management Excellence

I bridge the gap between business strategy and technical execution. I don't just write tickets; I help teams understand why we're building something and create the space for them to figure out how.

How I Work

Outcomes Over Output I care about solving user problems, not just shipping features. I focus on measurable outcomes—reducing churn, increasing engagement, or enabling new workflows—and work backward to find the right solution.

Technical Depth I speak engineering. I understand video codecs, API schemas, and cloud infrastructure. This builds trust with technical teams and prevents "we can't do that" from being the end of the conversation.

Data-Informed Intuition sparks ideas; data validates them. I use metrics not just to track progress, but to challenge assumptions and pivot when necessary.
