Product manager, data and AI

I build data and AI products that people keep using.

For fifteen years I've worked inside banks, payment companies, a pharma firm and Amazon Ring, turning sprawling reporting into a few tools teams trust. Since 2024 I've been designing and shipping AI products on my own.

Selected work

  • One set of numbers instead of a hundred dashboards

    Amazon Ring, 2019 to 2022, BI engineer and project lead

    The situation
    Product, sales and leadership teams were working from more than 100 Looker dashboards that overlapped and often disagreed.
    What I did
    Talked to the people using them, agreed shared definitions for the core metrics, and rebuilt what mattered as 25 Tableau products. Tuned the Redshift SQL underneath so they refreshed faster.
    What changed
    Duplication down 35%, adoption up 20%, refresh times down 40%. A cohort view built along the way helped lift monthly retention 17% for one customer segment.
    What I took from it
    Most of the work was agreeing on definitions. The dashboards were the easy part.
  • A roadmap four teams could deliver on

    Discover Financial Services, 2023 to 2024, product manager

    The situation
    The BI ecosystem for a Fortune 500 card network, spread across four business units and three offshore teams, each with its own priorities.
    What I did
    Owned the vision and roadmap and ran it as one backlog, using usage data and interviews to decide what came next. Automated the reporting work that was taking up analyst time.
    What changed
    Every iteration shipped on time. Delivery timelines came down 30% and report turnaround 60%.
    What I took from it
    A clear no, given early and in writing, kept more promises than a hopeful yes.
  • A product built alone, end to end

    Skyspeak, 2024, independent

    The situation
    A weather app for Android with an assistant you can ask in plain language. No team, no handoffs.
    What I did
    Designed it, built it in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, wired in the LLM assistant and published it on Google Play.
    What changed
    It's live, with more than 100 downloads. Small, and real.
    What I took from it
    Doing every role myself made me a more patient product manager.

How I work

  • I talk to the people who use a report before I change it.
  • I write decisions down, with the reason, on the day they're made.
  • I would rather give a later date I can keep than an early one I can't.
  • I check the numbers myself before they go in front of leadership.

Things I've built

Products I've designed, built and shipped on my own since 2024.
