SYSTEMATIC
Approach To Building Products
I rely on a simple, repeatable way of working to move from ambiguity to action. It creates clarity, aligns teams, and accelerates decision-making.
Decompose the problem
Ground on the user, question assumptions, ask why
Make it visible
Write it down, sketch it out, share early
Form a hypothesis
Frame clear bets and define success
Test → learn → repeat
Iterate on experiments to maximize learning speed
Share insights
Synthesize data and share simple narratives
Align and execute
Drive decision-making and scale what works
Curiosity
Technical
Data
Leadership
Craftsmanship
PRODUCT MANAGER
Superpowers
My superpowers help me turn noisy, ambiguous customer signals into clear discovery experiments and focused roadmaps. I use influence and leadership to build alignment around the work, and I take pride in crafting simple, maintainable solutions that are easy to understand and a delight to use.
