About

I am a Technical Product Leader with 19+ years of experience in product strategy, roadmap execution, and engineering delivery across additive manufacturing, industrial automation, engine inspection robotics, and media & communications. My differentiator is combining strategic product leadership with hands-on AI-assisted engineering. I take an end-to-end approach to product development, from stakeholder requirements gathering and engineering specifications to prototyping, UI development, Agile delivery, testing, releases, and final product delivery. KEY STRENGTHS • End-to-End Product Ownership: Translating business needs into engineering requirements, building prototypes and UI screens, and driving testing and delivery. • Product Strategy: Defining roadmaps, prioritizing backlogs, aligning stakeholders, and delivering business outcomes. • AI-Assisted Development: Using GitHub Copilot, VS Code, and OpenSpec to accelerate prototyping and turn requirements into working capabilities. • Hands-on UI Prototyping: Building and refining application screens and workflows using AI-assisted design and coding tools. • Agile & Release Management: Managing Scrum ceremonies, sprint planning, backlog refinement, dependencies, and releases. • AI-Enabled Engineering Quality: Developing AI-assisted code review agents to assess security, performance, maintainability, and specification adherence. • Cross-Functional Leadership: Leading engineering teams, engaging global customers, and aligning technical execution with product strategy. At GE Aerospace, I lead product strategy and roadmap execution across four enterprise additive manufacturing applications, coordinating four cross-functional engineering teams. I also drive AI-assisted prototyping and engineering quality initiatives. I have received four Impact Awards within two years for delivery execution and operational excellence. I believe the next generation of Technical Product Managers will combine strategic thinking with AI-enabled execution to build faster, validate earlier, and deliver quality products. I am interested in opportunities where enterprise product leadership, AI, and hands-on technical problem-solving create measurable business value. My approach: connect business needs to engineering execution, leverage AI to accelerate development, and own the journey from initial idea to final product delivery.
