0→1 Product Manager

7+ years turning technically complex challenges into intuitive product experiences at Wayfair, Statsig (acquired by OpenAI), and most recently Amazon.

About
Me

I'm a technical Product Manager with a love for building products for developers and data teams. I'm energized by moving fast through tight feedback loops — whether that's direct customer conversations, digging into the data to find the next unlock, or quick experiments that ship the same week.

Most recently at Amazon, I led the launch of "Add to Delivery" — the experience used by 1.7M+ daily customers to add items to their upcoming delivery (featured in The Verge). Before that at Statsig (Series B, later acquired by OpenAI), where I was employee #50, I launched a data warehouse-native A/B testing product built for developers and data teams 0→1 that became the largest source of new deals within a year — including customers like OpenAI and Notion. (See the press release.)

I'm looking to return to early-stage startups — small but mighty teams where I can spend more of my time doing what I love most: building. I believe speed to ship is a strategy in itself.

Experience

Amazon

Oct 2024 — Present

Senior PM (Technical), Add to Delivery

Leading Add to Delivery, the one-tap purchase experience that now drives 11% of all Prime orders in the US — built from scratch and shipped at Amazon scale.

Statsig (acquired by OpenAI)

Oct 2022 — Mar 2024

Lead Product Manager

Wore many hats — launched a data warehouse-native A/B testing product built for developers and data teams 0→1 that became the largest source of new deals (OpenAI, Notion, etc.), built enterprise features like feature flag management workflows, kickstarted the product-led growth motion, and shipped the company's first AI chat agent for self-serve customers. Our motto was "execution eats strategy for breakfast" — I shipped something new every single week.

Wayfair

Sep 2018 — Jun 2022

Senior PM → Associate Director

Led platform products across inventory, returns, and order management platforms — from omni-channel refunds to selling items en route to warehouses. Loved the challenge of turning tier-1 backend systems into robust platforms that other internal teams actually relied on.

Earlier

2014 — 2017

Accolade · Grameen America · PayJoy · SVTP

Before product, I wore quite a few hats — mechanical engineer, financial analyst, strategy consultant for an early-stage fintech. The throughline was always the same: getting close to complex, messy problems and working with smart people to solve them.

Projects

Lately I've been building alongside Claude — partly to learn, partly because it's fun.

Built with Claude · plain HTML & CSS

Built this from scratch with Claude as a learning exercise — picking up the basics of HTML and CSS while shipping something real. Also a small reminder that the best way to learn a new tool is to build something with it.

Education

Two schools shaped how I think. First, Olin College of Engineering, where I studied mechanical engineering and learned how to actually build things with my hands (2009–2013). Then Harvard Business School for an MBA (2016–2018), where I cross-registered in Intro to Computer Science because I wanted to get closer to the build.
