Engineer turned PM turned builder

I started as a software engineer at Fidelity Investments, crossed into financial services at Morgan Stanley, and eventually found product management — the place where technical depth, business strategy, and human insight converge. It turned out to be the sweet spot I'd been circling my whole career.

What's always driven me is something simpler than the résumé suggests: taking processes that are slow, manual, and fragmented, and turning them into streamlined, intelligent systems that move at the speed businesses need. For twelve years at Agero I did that for connected vehicle and roadside assistance platforms serving 115 million consumers. At Amazon and AWS, the problems got bigger — GenAI products, $100B+ contract lifecycle systems, agentic intake workflows, and investment platforms managing billions in annual programmatic funding.

What I do outside of work tells the other half of the story. I build AI-powered tools — dashboards, automation agents, analytics platforms — because I can't help it. The best way to understand where AI is headed is to build with it. Currently exploring ideas at the intersection of geolocation and AI for a project I'll share when it's ready.

Side projects that aren't
really side projects

01

Job Search Automation Pipeline

A fully agentic job search workflow built on Claude Cowork. Drop a job description into a folder — it scores the role across five weighted dimensions, generates a tailored ATS-optimized résumé if the score clears 75, and archives low-fit roles automatically. Runs on a daily schedule with zero manual intervention.

Why I built this

"I was spending hours manually evaluating JDs and customizing résumés. I decided to build the tool I needed — and in doing so, learned more about agentic workflow design than any tutorial could teach me."

US Presidential Performance Dashboard

A standalone reference tool presenting 18 verified economic and social outcome metrics for every US president from FDR through Trump II. All data sourced directly from BEA, BLS, Census, and OMB. Deliberately framed as outcomes, not verdicts — no causation implied anywhere. Zero external dependencies, works offline.

Why I built this

"Ongoing debates about presidential economic performance kept running into bad data or obvious framing. I wanted one trustworthy reference — transparent methodology, primary sources only, politically neutral by design."

D31 Facebook Marketing Agent

A hosted web application that automates the end-to-end process of promoting Toastmasters club meetings on Facebook. Reads event details from Google Sheets, generates QR codes, composites flyer images using Python Pillow, and posts to the District 31 Facebook Page — all from a browser, no technical knowledge required.

Why I built this

"The District Director was spending 30+ minutes per club post doing repetitive manual steps. I mapped the workflow, identified every automatable step, and built a tool that any future officer can use with zero training."

D31 Performance Dashboard

A single-file HTML dashboard tracking performance data for all 138 clubs across District 31 Toastmasters (Massachusetts & Rhode Island). Eight tab views, auto-CSV ingestion from GitHub Pages, year-over-year comparison, snapshot trend charts, and drill-down modals per KPI. Used by district leadership to drive coaching decisions.

Why I built this

"Leadership was working from static spreadsheets and couldn't see trends over time. I applied the same product thinking I'd use at work — defined the right metrics, designed for non-technical users, and built something they'd actually open every week."

D31 District Bucks Dashboard

An incentive program tracker for District 31's District Bucks program, covering three quarterly incentives: Up Your Game (consecutive DCP education points), Membership Building (new member acquisition), and Pathways Level Up (top 5 clubs by unique Pathways completions). Features club drill-down modals and full Education Achievements history.

Why I built this

"Clubs had no easy way to see where they stood in the incentive program mid-season. Visibility drives behavior — once clubs could see their streak and ranking in real time, engagement went up noticeably."

Tennis GOAT Analytics Platform

A data-sourced statistical comparison of Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic across 12+ dimensions — Grand Slams, serve and return metrics, Elo ratings, head-to-head records, surface win rates, prime years analysis, and surface simulations. All figures sourced from ATP Tour official data, Tennis Abstract, and primary match charting sources.

Why I built this

"The GOAT debate generates more heat than light. I wanted one rigorous, sourced reference where the data does the talking — same philosophy as the Presidential Dashboard, different arena."
