About

My journey started with the floating parallelograms of Windows 95 and a stubbornness for solving problems in Pascal. Today, I’ve traded healthcare consultancy for the world of Chess.com. As a Technical Product Manager, I am focused on the ultimate endgame: re-inventing how we test in the age of AI. Working with a brilliant team of humans and a growing fleet of high-performing AI agents, I’m covering multiple technologies to streamline our QA lifecycle. We’re moving fast, breaking the old testing paradigms, and building the future of the world’s most iconic game. Throughout my career, from developer to manager, I’ve learned that the most amazing things happen when we embrace dissent and stay curious. In a world of fast-moving AI, I still believe that learning beats expertise every time. I’m at my best when I’m surrounded by passionate people, complex problems, and just enough dark chocolate to fuel the next breakthrough.
