About

I build products by starting with people - understanding what they actually need, not what they say they need. My background combines three things that don't usually sit in one person: rigorous behavioral and biometric research, hands-on AI product building, and end-to-end GTM execution. That means when I work on a product, I can run the user research, vibe-code a prototype the same week, and write the launch plan by Friday. At iMotions I worked across enterprise research and GTM running biometric studies using EEG and eye-tracking while building n8n automation pipelines that replaced 30+ manual workflows. At the University at Buffalo Behavioral Research Lab I managed 1,000+ research participants across 10 to 12 concurrent studies, built the lab's operational infrastructure from scratch, and translated sensor data into decisions stakeholders actually acted on. Outside of work I ship. I've built 5 AI products in production - including Cystless, an AI-powered PCOS companion app built in 48 hours at a buildathon using Claude API and React, and HouseScout, a live agentic rental system using TypeScript, RentCast API, and Twilio. I don't just have product opinions - I have product receipts. What I'm looking for: PM roles at companies building products where understanding human behavior actually matters. Early stage or growth stage, AI-native preferred. Open to Product Management and adjacent roles, including research operations, GTM strategy/engineering, product marketing, solutions architecture, and AI product roles where user understanding, technical depth, and execution all matter. Let's talk.
