Product Manager by Title, Builder by Instinct \| AI, 0→1 Ideas, Vibe Coding & Meaningful Side Quests

## About

I count my career in coffee cups and “aha\!” moments\. Each cup marks how I learned to listen, build, and ship\. ☕Lockdown cold coffee \(2020\): Built my first wellness product because mental\-health support didn’t feel human enough\. Learned my most important PM lesson early that listen long enough and users hand you the roadmap\. ☕Stronger brew, no sugar: Late nights, first startup energy, and Collegepreneurs \- 100\+ conversations with students building things from scratch\. ☕Upgrade to Almond milk: Grew from intern to PM at FrontRow\. Shipped 6\+ features, cut instructor delays from 15 min to 2 min, and built products that actually moved engagement\. ☕Bitter Ice Americano: B2C \+ B2B at HungerBox\. Simplified lunchtime chaos and shipped AI features like Digital Dietician and an admin chat agent that now handles most ops queries\. ☕Comforting Moka pot \(now\): Creating content at Working With Coffee, mentoring at Airtribe, and doing the unglamorous but important work of aligning B2B products at HungerBox\. 🍵Riding the Matcha Wave \(now\): These days I’m vibe\-coding with AI, trying new stacks, and shipping small experiments just to see what breaks \(and what works\)\. Learning by building has become my default mode\. Still curious\. Still building\. Always chasing the next good cup\.
