Product leader and builder. 13+ years in fintech, insurtech & lending.
I lead cross-functional teams, ship digital products that move the business, and build my own things on the side to stay close to the craft.
Day-to-day, I build digital products in fintech, insurtech, and lending — digital payments, embedded finance, premium finance, insurance agency portals, and the regulated workflows that connect them.
Websites, SEO, advertising, and digital presence — grounded in product thinking, not vanity metrics. Earlier in my career I built digital signage and marketing tech for retail and hospitality clients.
Roadmaps, discovery, lean canvas, and 0-to-1 product builds — with AI woven into how I research, plan, prototype, and ship.
Serverless apps, API integrations, data dashboards, and workflow automation — the kind of work I do for fun and to keep my hands in the code.
AI-powered sleep analytics platform built on the Oura Ring API. Tracks sleep debt, forecasts readiness, detects anomalies, and surfaces personalized insights from your own biometric data. Fully built and shipped using Claude Code.
Designed, built, and deployed to Vercel in a single Claude Code session. From strategy and copy to production — no templates, no frameworks, no designer.
I didn't write about building AI products — I built one.
An 8-module microlearning course on AI product management — tap-forward cards, quizzes, and progress tracking. Two live AI features built into the course itself: a workflow mapper that finds AI leverage points in your real workflow, and a spec builder that grades your work field-by-field.
Try it liveI use Copilot, ChatGPT, and Claude daily for roadmapping, feature specs, competitive analysis, and rapid prototyping. Not experimenting — shipping. This is how I work now.
End-to-end data pipelines connecting third-party APIs to custom dashboards. OAuth flows, serverless backends, and real-time analytics — built for teams that need their data working harder, not sitting in spreadsheets.
Outcome: [e.g., "Connected 3 vendor APIs into a single executive dashboard, cutting weekly reporting from 4 hours to zero"]
Product manager by trade. Builder by choice. I've spent 13+ years leading digital product teams in fintech, insurtech, insurance premium finance, and lending — most recently as VP of Product at a Truist Financial subsidiary, where I scaled a premium collection platform used across personal and commercial lines.
I lead cross-functional teams across engineering, sales, operations, and compliance — from 0-to-1 product launches and platform migrations to UX optimization and system architecture work.
Outside of my day job, I build personal projects to stay close to the craft, experiment with AI tools, and explore ideas that don't fit inside a corporate roadmap.
