About

Professional summary

I am a Technical Product Manager with over 12 years of experience across telecommunications, enterprise networking, release management, and private wireless platforms. I translate customer needs, technical research, and operational data into product strategies, roadmaps, and launch decisions.

I have led cross-functional delivery across complex networking software environments, aligning priorities across engineering, testing, operations, and customer teams. My work has improved delivery predictability, reduced operating costs, and increased product adoption for enterprise customers.

I specialize in Private 4G/5G, telecom infrastructure, network reliability, and mission-critical deployments. I have helped define phased product roadmaps that account for customer readiness, ecosystem maturity, security requirements, and operational risk.

I bring a customer-centered approach to technical product leadership, using release history, defect trends, feature gaps, and customer feedback to prioritize the highest-impact work. I am experienced in regulated and high-availability environments, including Department of Defense operations.

I am also a technical communicator and team enabler with experience in partner management, technical documentation, mentorship, interoperability validation, and escalation management. I value practical automation, clear stakeholder alignment, and measurable outcomes.
