About

I'm a Product Manager with a decade of experience leading high-impact technology programs in complex, resource-constrained environments. My background spans product strategy, roadmap ownership, and cross-functional execution — delivering outcomes like 50% faster delivery cycles and $12M+ in secured product investment.

At the Air Force Research Laboratory, I owned product strategy and roadmaps for portfolios up to $26M, aligned national-level stakeholders, and led cross-functional teams of 45+ people across six agencies. I've taken products from 0 to 1 — defining requirements, building roadmaps, and driving cross-functional teams to ship — on programs ranging from airborne sensor modernization to radar enhancement.

Most recently, I completed an intensive SkillBridge real estate program, gaining firsthand experience in the homeowner-to-seller journey — conducting customer discovery with prospective sellers, managing end-to-end pipelines in Follow Up Boss (a Zillow-owned CRM), and building deep empathy for every friction point in the real estate transaction lifecycle.

I also founded a full-stack web development consultancy and hold a Top Secret/SCI clearance. I'm passionate about translating ambiguous user needs into scalable product solutions — and I bring both the technical depth and customer empathy to do it well.
