About Me

My Background

After studying computer science I started my career in IT before transitioning into product management. My technical foundation means I can go deep with engineering teams while still keeping the user front-and-center.

What I Enjoy

I thrive building 0→1 products — taking ambiguous problems through discovery, defining the right scope, and shipping something customers actually use. I especially love being a translator between technical and non-technical teams.

What's Next

I'm looking for a Senior PM or Lead PM role at a growth-stage small business or established organization where I can own a product area end-to-end, learn an entirely new domain, and upskill both technically and professionally.
