About

Professional summary

I am a technical product leader with nine years of experience spanning product management and software engineering. I specialize in building and scaling marketplace, search, discovery, personalization, and workflow automation products.

I have owned 0-to-1 launches and scaled products for a marketplace serving more than five million monthly users. My work has generated over $25 million in revenue impact and $1.5 million in cost savings through product strategy, experimentation, search optimization, and operational automation.

I partner closely with engineering, data science, compliance, legal, vendors, and business stakeholders to turn complex technical and financial tradeoffs into actionable roadmaps. I have led build-versus-buy evaluations, vendor assessments, platform investments, and staged product rollouts.

My recent focus is applied AI, including AI search modernization, semantic retrieval, vector embeddings, RAG systems, conversational search, and agentic workflow orchestration. I use experimentation, measurement frameworks, and model evaluations to improve product quality, relevance, cost efficiency, and user outcomes.

I am also an experienced cross-functional leader and mentor. I have mentored junior product managers and established shared practices for instrumentation, experimentation, decision documentation, and data-driven prioritization across product teams.

Career history

Independent AI Project AI-Powered Job Evaluation and Agentic Workflow Platform

I am building an evidence-grounded RAG platform for job-fit evaluation that retrieves prior work artifacts and uses supporting evidence chunks to score role alignment. The platform is designed to reduce false positives and false negatives in job evaluation.

I also built agentic workflows that turn fit scores into job-search tasks in Notion. The workflow includes human review for score overrides and approval of next actions, using LangGraph, LanceDB, Prisma, and reasoning models.

Delivered more than $20 million in impact through AI search modernization, ranking optimization, vector embeddings, and A/B testing across 3.5 million units. Improved search relevance by 33%, recovered $5 million in lost revenue from ML ranking degradation, reduced B2C activation time by 95% through Veriff integration, and developed search-quality measurement, integrity, and experimentation frameworks.
