About

I build products at the intersection of software, data, and real-world operations. I lead product and delivery for a convenience retail platform used by gas stations and c-stores, covering back-office workflows, POS integrations, pricing, promotions, loyalty, and reporting. A big part of my work is taking messy, high-stakes problems from operators, turning them into clear requirements, and shipping reliable solutions with engineering, design, and business teams. I have an M.S. in Artificial Intelligence, and I enjoy working on products where technical depth matters, APIs, analytics, automation, and AI that actually improves outcomes. I’m driven by simple goals: make systems easier to use, reduce operational pain, and help teams move faster with confidence.
