About

I'm a Product Manager and Technical Program Manager with 7 years delivering high-stakes technology programs in complex, distributed environments. My background bridges product strategy and deep technical execution: at the Air Force Research Laboratory, I directed $77M+ across simultaneous radar, electronic warfare, and airborne sensor programs, coordinating 75 personnel across 6 federal agencies with national intelligence customers.

I've owned product strategy and roadmaps for portfolios up to $26M, built a 19-metric evaluation framework that directed a $170M investment cycle and accelerated award timelines 50%, and authored proposals that secured $30M+ in program funding. I've led 0-to-1 product delivery from concept through operational deployment: a sensor platform achieving a 567% improvement in tracking performance and a 600x size reduction, shipped on a compressed timeline by a distributed cross-functional team.

Currently completing a DoD SkillBridge placement at a high-volume real estate brokerage, where I manage end-to-end client pipelines in Follow Up Boss (a Zillow-owned CRM), coordinate across lenders, title companies, and compliance officers on active transactions, and have built direct intuition for every friction point in the homebuyer and seller journey. Licensed real estate agent in South Carolina.

I also founded a full-stack AI product consultancy, shipping live agentic products at hunterdoster.com using Claude, FastAPI, and Python, and I hold an active Top Secret/SCI clearance. I bring both the technical depth to engage credibly with engineering teams and the customer empathy to translate ambiguous user needs into scalable product solutions.
