About me.
Software engineer turned Product Manager. Just back from 17 countries on a sabbatical across North America, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, South America, and Central America. I kicked off 2026 building with AI and turning myself into a genuine power user, and it brought back a joy of building I didn't know I'd been missing. Now I'm looking for the next great problem to own.
The work
I started my career at Capital One as a software engineer, then made an intentional move into product there, working on the credit card application and acquisition funnel. From there I moved to VMware Carbon Black and the cloud endpoint security product, where I began on the on-premises to cloud migration but shifted into product strategy once that need became clear. What I'm proudest of from that time was building the case for a fundamental strategy shift: thinking about cybersecurity as an ecosystem, where every solution has to communicate to surface the real threats.
That same pull toward strategy is what took me to Workday, where I joined the Journeys product early and watched it grow to 1,300+ customers and $80M ARR. I cut time-to-value from six months to four, and I designed the five-year product strategy and planning methodology that drove VP-level alignment across a 50+ person team. The work I'm proudest of there was owning a new self-service product area from a three-year strategy all the way through execution, building it from nothing into something half of requesting customers adopted one release cycle later.
The LLM wave brought back something I didn't realize I was missing, which is the joy of building. On my sabbatical I've been prototyping with AI, including a rehab app for musculoskeletal injuries, this site itself, and a book recommendation app. Building with AI has been the most fun I've had professionally in years.

The life part of life.
This past year has been the most significant of my personal life. I had been dreaming of a big travel year since the end of college, and in early 2025 it finally felt like now or never, so I went. I spent the year traveling across North America, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, South America, and a Spanish immersion program in Guatemala.
You can find me in the mountains when I'm not at a desk: skiing, hiking, camping.
When the time calls for it, I am a dedicated fan of a good G&T and a crisp sauvignon blanc.
I caught the travel bug in college, and since then I am always in some stage of planning the next trip, whether that's somewhere new in Colorado or a country I've never set foot in.
I'm also in the middle of a health rabbit hole that started with a hamstring injury and turned into a full obsession: glucose monitoring, sourcing real food, protein, and picking up heavy things at the gym.
