About Me

Profile picture
Toronto, ON

I'm a Technical PM with a dual background in Software Engineering and Business (Ivey HBA), taking products from client discovery to production code.

My work spans client discovery, designing real screens, and owning end-to-end delivery, alongside engineering agentic workflows and ingestion pipelines. I've built a fast, repeatable delivery process by staying hands-on through every stage: discovery, design, development, and iterating on feedback. My engineering half means I can ship it. The business half means I know why it matters.

I work AI-native. LLMs and agents are part of how I design, build, and deliver.

Key Highlights
01Technical PM owning delivery across $700K+ ARR at a YC-backed startup
02Built an ops platform used daily by 50+ engineers across 30+ clients enabling org wide visibility
03Solo-built a lending platform that cut 2 days of analysis to under 5 minutes through complex ingestion of thousands of data points
04Own end-to-end delivery from discovery and design to launch
