About

The short version

I'm a Senior Product Manager with 8+ years of experience building and evolving products across enterprise SaaS, healthcare, analytics, insurtech, and mobile.

My work has moved naturally from mobile products → conversational self-service → analytics and data platforms → enterprise AI-guided workflows. I enjoy problems where user needs, business outcomes, data, technology, and execution have to come together.

Today, I own regional product direction for sales-enablement workflows at Align Technology while building AI-guided selling experiences as part of a global product transformation involving contextual assistance, RAG-based knowledge retrieval, summarization, recommendations, and Responsible AI considerations.

Capabilities

What I bring

AI Product Management

Where most of my current energy goes — turning LLM capability into workflows people actually trust and ship.

Product Management

The fundamentals everything else sits on — discovery, prioritization, and getting cross-functional teams to a decision.

Data & Platforms

The tools I actually use to make product decisions day to day, not just list on a resume.

AI Product Work & Current Focus

Where my AI product work stands

Areas I'm actively working on in enterprise AI products, alongside capabilities I'm deliberately deepening through hands-on work and independent building.

These reflect current independent learning and building — not production ownership, until there's direct, defensible evidence.

Thinking

Notes on product management

Points of view I can stand behind, not cohort lecture notes rebranded as mine.

Not Every Conversational Product Needs an LLM

The right question isn't "Can AI do this?" but "Does AI materially improve the user outcome versus rules, search, or workflow automation?"

AI Output Quality Is a Product Problem

Not only a model problem. Useful AI products need good context, retrieval, permissions, evaluation, guardrails, and a clear recovery path when the model is wrong.

RAG for PMs: Retrieval Quality Matters as Much as Generation

A fluent answer built on the wrong context is still a bad product outcome. Retrieval quality, freshness, and permissions are product concerns.

Platform Migration Is an Adoption Problem

Not just a feature-parity problem. Customers move when the new platform reduces friction and preserves the workflows they actually value.

Enterprise AI Should Reduce Admin Work Without Removing Accountability

The product should make the human faster and better informed while keeping high-impact decisions reviewable.
