About

With 13+ years of experience, I lead connected product strategy for cross-functional, cross-product, and cross-regional teams across global residential and commercial markets — from 0→1 launches through to product sunset. Delivering connected experiences across PWA, native mobile, and web platforms — consumer apps, dealer portals for device management, device onboarding, BLE, WiFi provisioning, OTA, device certificate management among others. My remit covers the full product breadth: business roadmap reviews, UX sign-offs, test case reviews, dev demo approvals, multi-country multilingual GDPR-compliant experiences, VAPT coordination, firmware integration planning, and architecture design discussions. I sit at the intersection of strategy and execution. I actively use agentic AI across my product practice — GitHub Copilot product-specific agents (shared cross-team knowledge bases), Kiro, Rovo, Copilot Studio, Figma Make, Whimsical, Copilot Research Analyst, and Claude — spanning PRD to delivery, story generation, PI planning, prototyping, data analysis, and building internal product apps.
