1.0 Description

I’m a technical product manager. Fifteen years in enterprise software: QA, engineering, then product. Today I manage a small team, set product priorities for a cloud evidence platform, and make the go or no-go call on about fifteen releases a year. On my own time, I build with AI.

Operating principle

I like problems where the product decision and the technical one are the same decision.

Capabilities

Capability 3.1Day job, 2023 to now

Turning migration into a product

Moving customers from our legacy single-server SaaS to a scaled, distributed microservice platform was a one-off project, run by hand each time. I turned it into a product: a repeatable path with automation and validation, and an operating model for the organization around it, covering who owns each step, how failures get analyzed, and how status is tracked. Now I lead the whole effort, across every team that touches it.

Capability 3.2Day job

Helping retain a $10M+ account

Our largest domestic customer was under pressure from competitors selling features we didn’t have yet. We answered with proof, on their own system, with their leadership in the room. They renewed for five more years.

Capability 3.3Day job

When the link breaks, the rule doesn’t follow

A failure in an automatic linking step meant rules reached only some of the records users expected them to cover. I contained it in three tiers and kept all 15 early adopters.

On my own timePersonal, 2026

I build with AI to learn how agents behave when they run unattended, and what it takes to trust them. Finding so far: it’s mostly product and platform work. Roles, permissions, review, evals, and cost limits.

Capability 3.4Personal project, 2026

The agent engine

Six AI agents on a home server that build, test, and ship their own changes, with me as the only one who can merge. Here it is working.

Capability 3.5Personal project, 2026

Mimir: one memory for every agent

The memory all my agents share, designed in a day and running since: one writer, plain text in git, and guarantees enforced in code, not by the model. Here’s what broke, and what I changed.

Capability 3.6Buildathon, 2026

SeeThru, built in a buildathon

SeeThru turns every action in a sensitive system into a dot, raises the few that look wrong, and hands each one to a person to decide. Built with one teammate at the AiEdge Buildathon 2026; we reached the semifinals.
