About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Product Manager with more than 12 years of experience spanning software engineering, enterprise SaaS, platform products, integrations, workflow automation, and product leadership. I combine technical depth with commercial and customer-focused product thinking.

I have spent more than four years leading product strategy at ADP across Learning Management, talent assessment, Career Profile, and Rewards & Recognition products in the NextGen HCM ecosystem. My work has covered roadmap definition, global launches, client discovery, platform expansion, and enterprise retention outcomes.

I specialize in enterprise platform and API products, including HRIS and ATS integrations, system-of-record-agnostic experiences, scalable workflows, localization, and cross-functional delivery. I am comfortable partnering with engineering, implementation, client success, sales, and executive stakeholders to turn customer needs into measurable product outcomes.

As an engineer-turned-product leader, I use my background in Python, SQL, REST APIs, system architecture, and database design to make informed product and technical decisions. I have led architecture design, integrations, modular application development, and high-stability enterprise releases.

I am expanding my expertise in AI product development through self-directed work in LLM applications, RAG patterns, evaluation design, prompt engineering, and human-in-the-loop workflows. I am also operating an independent travel advisory business, where I apply product lifecycle, automation, CRM, vendor management, and customer-retention practices.

I am interested in senior product leadership opportunities where I can build scalable enterprise products, platform capabilities, AI-enabled workflows, and high-impact customer experiences.

Certifications: SPM Certificate in Software Product Management (Product School, New York, Jan 2018); TICO Certified Travel Counsellor (Ontario, Jan 2026).
