About

I am a commercially minded PM with a background spanning product, marketing and sales. I have led products in B2B SaaS, fraud prevention and AI, and I am currently building AI-powered tools alongside my day job to develop practical fluency in how these products are designed, scoped and shipped.

When working with engineering, design and data teams, I focus on the outcome we are trying to achieve rather than the solution to build. I care about sequencing, finding the work that unblocks everything else, and about keeping commercial reality in the room when product decisions get made. Feedback I have received consistently points to two things: commercial awareness and the ability to work across technical and non-technical teams. I think both come from genuine curiosity about how things work and why they matter.

Projects

A few projects I built because the problems were real and the ideas would not go away.

UnblockMe

An AI writing tool that helps writers get unstuck at any stage of the process, without writing a single word for them. Three focused modes: plan a story, polish a scene, refine a beat.

Focal

An AI photography critique and coaching tool. Upload a photo, select the principles you want assessed, and receive structured feedback. Log in to unlock a skills profile that tracks your performance across principles over time.
