About

I am a data product manager based in Brooklyn, New York, with experience in high-growth and ambiguous environments. My career interest is in fintech and data, focused today on capital markets data products where AI tools and machine learning systems are a primary consumer. Outside of work, I am building apps, writing books, and volunteering with education organizations. I also love movies, Formula 1, cooking, and BBQing.

I studied statistics and finance at Carnegie Mellon University, have been fortunate enough to see startups grow from A to D rounds, traded quantitatively at a couple of funds along the way, and now bring that perspective to a large enterprise team. Today I lead four product teams at a major U.S. bank, including one that is fully AI-engineered through spec-driven development, sit on the firm's AI council for global banking, and was a featured AI presenter at the firm's innovation week. Specs I write ship directly into production, turning week-long processes into hours and quarter-long roadmap work into weeks. I have a deep interest in making complex data understandable to a broader audience.
