About

A product leader who ships — with the technical depth to back it.

For 16 years I’ve worked at the intersection of product, engineering, and operations — starting as a software test engineer and growing into senior product roles owning SaaS platforms, ERP rollouts, supply-chain systems, and the cloud migrations that hold them together.

Today I lead integrated business-planning initiatives — optimizing inventory, demand planning, and supply reliability for a global e-commerce operator. Earlier roles include Group Product Manager for Finance & ERP at a global hospitality-tech platform, Senior Product Manager for a banking-owned point-of-sale SaaS, and nine years scaling a global commerce, WMS, and ERP stack from on-prem to public cloud.

I’m most useful where the problem is ambiguous, the stakeholders are many, and the system is mission-critical.

Key Achievements

Selected outcomes from a 16-year track record.

Owned a global ERP rollout: customer, order, inventory, PO, shipping-rate, and invoice posting — replacing ad-hoc workflows with a single source of truth.

TMS Build & Carrier Integration

Acted as Product Owner for the TMS build — carrier onboarding, rate management, label config, VAT/D&T calc, OMS & WMS carrier-selection logic.

Fraud Prevention Integration

Led integration with a leading third-party fraud platform plus in-house fraud rules for payment-capture events — reducing exposure on a high-volume e-commerce operation.

In-House WMS Lifecycle

Owned a custom-built warehouse-management system end-to-end — Receiving, Staging, Putaway, Picking, Packing, Shipping, Cycle Count, and Replenishment — with seamless WMS↔ERP data streaming.

GDS & Distribution Integrations

Drove product work across Global Distribution System (GDS) and reservation-platform integrations — connecting inventory, partner channels, and consumer-facing experiences in hospitality-tech contexts.

POS Platform & APIs

Led API-first product strategy for a cloud-based point-of-sale platform — backend integrations with consumer-engagement systems, microservices logger initiatives in public cloud, and security-council risk reviews.

AI/ML Initiatives

Spinning up modern AI/ML initiatives across product, planning, and operations — orchestrated with n8n for workflow automation and engineered with Claude Code for rapid prototyping.

Expertise

Three disciplines, one operating system.

Strategic product judgment, hands-on technical fluency, and the operating muscle to deliver across teams.
