Principal Product Manager
Bridging innovation and business value. I build real tools, understand infrastructure, and ship code. 13+ years turning complex problems into products that work.
Thoughts on product, engineering, and AI
Focus on using AI effectively rather than understanding its technical internals — being an AI "client" means describing outcomes, not mechanisms.
A practitioner's account of how AI integration in software development evolved incrementally, from basic coding assistance to structured spec-first workflows and agent-based systems.
Building is how I learn. Writing code forces me to deal with real constraints, trade-offs, and failures. I construct small tools and experimental projects publicly to understand systems deeply.
