About Me and My Approach

Leading product teams that transform industrial complexity into fast-shipping solutions.

I'm a product design director with 14+ years of experience building and leading product teams, shipping products using Claude-powered prototyping, and scaling product impact across industrial data platforms. My approach combines rapid prototyping (Vue.js + TypeScript), stakeholder alignment, and technical product strategy—Claude-assisted development for ontology-driven systems, graph database platforms (ArcadeDB), and data provenance infrastructure.

What drives me is shipping fast: tight scope, rapid iteration, and launching products in weeks not quarters. I thrive in high-complexity industries (energy infrastructure, industrial IoT, emissions analytics) where I use Claude to prototype production-ready solutions, align cross-functional stakeholders, and deliver products that generate measurable business impact ($85M pipeline, $494M platform revenue).

Product Strategy & Fast Execution

Define product vision, prioritize high-leverage features, and ship in 3-6 week cycles. Build stakeholder alignment through prototype validation—not specifications. Bias for action over process.

Claude-Powered Prototyping

Ship production-ready prototypes using Claude (Vue.js + TypeScript) in 2-3 week cycles. Prototype-first collaboration eliminates specification gaps, enables parallel development, and reduces engineering rework 60%.

Stakeholder Alignment & Delivery

Transform chaotic development to predictable product delivery. Create shared understanding through visual prototypes, weekly vision alignment, and measurable success metrics. Establish release cadence and operational excellence.

Technical Product Leadership

Lead products requiring deep technical fluency: ontology-driven systems, Knowledge Graph platforms (ArcadeDB), industrial data architecture. Translate technical constraints into product strategy and business outcomes.
