Senior Technical Product Manager

Boulder, Colorado LinkedIn

Senior Technical Product Manager with a background in applied AI, automation and zero-to-one product development. Leads complex cross-functional programs across defense, climate and healthcare, translating ambiguous, high-stakes problems into scalable production systems. In short, I turn ambiguity into execution, tacit knowledge into systems and ambitious ideas into infrastructure that scales.
