I grew up in a restaurant-business family, where I learned early that I wanted to lead — and that you earn it by being useful. A long pull toward technology took me through a computer science degree, a Master's at Carnegie Mellon, and into product, where I've been lucky to lead teams through a lot of build cycles — still asking the same quiet question: are we building the right thing?
A few of the brush strokes along the way: mornings in grocery stores learning where software actually breaks for the people using it; an LLM tool at Bath & Body Works that gave teams a few hours back each week; OpenClaw automations — agent swarms I built to clear a weekend's backlog of bugs; and Expired Solutions, where I'm still chipping away at grocery waste. Today I'm a Senior AI Product Manager at Asurion, building AI products for a global audience — and still mostly just trying to make the work feel easier for the people who use it.
The AI wasn't the hard part. The hard part was production.
