Technical PM bridging
engineering roots
and product thinking.

Formerly a systems engineer focused on the mechanical and structural design of indigenous satellites, I've traded orbital mechanics for product roadmaps. I specialize in navigating complex technical trade-offs to build resilient systems and drive AI innovation, ensuring products are architected for long-term growth.


Selected Work

Problems I've worked on

SigmaSight B2B SaaS · AI
Eliminating a redundant manual calculations process

The data team was recreating the same calculations in Excel by hand, unaware the source data already existed in a legacy Access database.

PROCESS
Data investigation → Legacy database migration into DBeaver → SQL-validated solution
Removed a redundant manual process and gave the team a single source of truth.
Red Buffer AI · Internal Systems
Prototyping AI products before committing engineering time

New product ideas — an LLM chat interface, a video-analysis dashboard — needed validation before the team invested in a full build.

PROCESS
Rapid AI prototyping (Vercel, Loveable) → Stakeholder validation → Scoped build
A prototype alone converted a sales lead into a signed project — no full development cycle needed.
iENGINEERING AI Cloud · Startup
Scaling delivery operations through hypergrowth

A fast-scaling AI startup needed operational structure across a cloud data service, two web apps, and a mobile app — without slowing delivery.

PROCESS
Hybrid Agile rollout → QA process introduction → Team scale-up
Increased team efficiency by 50% while scaling the delivery team from 45 to 60 in a month.
Experience

Where I've been

Red Buffer Lead Product Manager — Products & Internal Systems
2024 – Present

Own the product lifecycle across customer-facing and internal tools, using AI prototyping to validate ideas before committing engineering time.

SigmaSight Product Manager — AMEA Product Lead
2024 – Present

Own the roadmap for a B2B SaaS platform serving enterprise clients across AMEA. Continuous discovery and SQL-based data validation keep the backlog grounded in real problems.

iENGINEERING Operations Lead
2022 – 2023

Structured operations and drove delivery for a fast-scaling AI startup across a cloud data service, two web apps, and a mobile app.

Freelance Product & Engineering Consultant
2017 – 2020

Independent consulting across aerospace and biomedical projects — requirements and design specifications for an aerospace product, and mechanical design oversight for a biomedical X-ray device.

SUPARCO Systems Engineer
2012 – 2017

Primary point of contact across 15 cross-functional teams on a complex aerospace product — managing requirements, design compliance, and delivery milestones. The experience that shaped how I think about technical complexity.
