Product strategy paired with hands-on delivery

I move between roadmap and code: define product direction, turn it into architecture and integrations, and ship with measurable impact. The goal is clarity, strong collaboration, and platforms that scale without friction.

  • Product management that links strategy to execution and growth.
  • Automation and integrations that reduce manual effort.
  • Cross-functional alignment across sales, marketing, engineering, and ops.
What I build
  • Platform scaling plans and implementation across multiple stacks.
  • Automation pipelines that shorten cycles and improve quality.
  • Data systems for visibility: ETL, dashboards, and alerts.
  • Integrations across service providers and internal tools.
  • Vendor and portfolio management to control cost and performance.
Strengths

Hands-on across product, data, and engineering with a bias for delivery and team performance.
