About
Me

I'm a technical Product Manager based in Seattle who's looking to return to early-stage startups where I can spend more of my time doing what I love most: building.

I believe speed to ship is a strategy in itself, and I love creating tight feedback loops to enable that, whether that's direct customer conversations, internal dogfooding, digging into the data to find the next unlock, or quick experiments.

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.)

Senior PM (Technical), Add to Delivery

Leading Add to Delivery, a new one-tap purchase experience on mobile that lets customers add items to their upcoming deliveries — now driving 11% of all Prime orders in the US. What I loved most: getting to build something entirely new and watching it scale to tens of millions of users. I oversaw everything from requirements, design, and engineering through legal and PR alignment, to monthly updates to the CEO of Amazon Retail.

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.

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.

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.

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. Then Harvard Business School for an MBA, where I cross-registered in Intro to Computer Science because I wanted to get closer to the build.
