Research-, market-, and results-driven product leader. Twenty-plus years building and shipping software products at scale — founder and CPO (Shapemix, $2M raised, US Patent 20110271186A1), Senior Manager Principal at Fidelity on flagship mobile, Lead on AI/ML surfaces at Meta Ads Manager, leadership team at Stackdriver through its acquisition by Google, currently leading product end-to-end on a multi-tenant SaaS platform at Cubiq.

AI-native: led product on ML-composed surfaces at Meta Ads Manager, runs Aboutface IO (an R&D lab on human–AI collaboration), and builds production software with Claude Code via a codified AI-collaborative workflow. Track record across consumer fintech, enterprise SaaS, ad-tech, and developer tools, in regulated environments (financial services, insurance, central banking) where compliance and customer outcomes both have to land.

Works best in tight teams aligned around a shared product vision, building from informed positions — competitive and market data, customer research, hard numbers. Former Senior Critic at RISD; former Lecturer at Lesley and Emerson.

Currently building

Dev + AI-driven work. Solo or lead builder.

Sole product, design, and build owner of a white-label multi-tenant SaaS platform replacing Cubiq's legacy Rails/Heroku system — built as a strangler-fig parallel to a live app serving 1,000 customers. Three surfaces (operator dashboard, customer portal, staff mobile). Claude-API lead-response ships in Phase 4; an after-hours AI voice-agent intake is on the roadmap. End-to-end product responsibility, from strategy through shipped code.

Quartz Composer reimagined for current creative-coding practice — a node-based cross-modal DAW/compositor for macOS. Real-time picture and sound from typed graphs; dual live/offline runtimes; plugin architecture. Solo build in two months via the codified AI-collaborative workflow. Build targets across audio, video, interaction, and VR/spatial audio.

End-to-end proof of AI-augmented product delivery — a fast, local, opinionated image viewer for Mac. Opens 70+ formats, reads and writes EXIF, strips surveillance metadata before you share, keeps tags in plain JSON next to your files. Native Swift / AppKit. Shipped in the App Store.

An MCP-driven automation pipeline generating a weekly LinkedIn post and newsletter from a persistent AI narrator. Voice, tone, and continuity are the design problem; the pipeline (scheduled fetch, model call, publish, broadcast) is the delivery mechanism.

Past product & design leadership

Meta, Fidelity, Google, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, Shapemix, and more.

Led the product experience for Ads Manager surfaces in the audience-expansion area, where page content and layout were composed at runtime from AI/ML model output. Designed the ML decision-workflows themselves — not just the surfaces displaying model output, but how the model chose scope and method for affecting change across advertiser campaigns.

Senior product leadership on Fidelity's flagship mobile apps during the 2020 pandemic-era shift to digital-first investing, serving millions of customers in a heavily regulated retail-brokerage environment. Grew and owned the mobile product practice across iOS and Android — strategy, cross-functional coordination, shared platform infrastructure, and shipped outcomes.

Part of the Stackdriver leadership team through the Google acquisition that brought Stackdriver into Google Cloud as Cloud Monitoring and Cloud Logging. Product research on data visualization methods for cloud computing logs and events was a direct driver of the outcome. Shipped a canvas-based rendering method for d3.js — a memory-efficient technique that, to my knowledge, is still standard in Google Cloud today.

As Lead Strategist for the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia's website redesign, I conducted stakeholder interviews and comprehensive assessments of information, data, and accessibility. This work led to the development of a structured system that improved user journeys, information architecture, and community engagement.

Founded and led product as CPO. Raised $2M and launched cloud-based music entertainment products on the cross-modal perception thesis that sound has shape. Owned vision, strategy, GTM, and core infrastructure end-to-end — coded the original demo in Java, wrote the fundamental drawing code in Objective-C, architected the server/client stem-hosting and mixing engine. US Patent 20110271186A1.

Coded an AR demo in Unity with ARKit and geospatial APIs — real-time tide-line visualization overlaid on live video under varying conditions. Won the pitch; Cantina continued the work after I left.

Coded the working prototype for mobile and embedded device navigation in Origami Studio + JavaScript for an FDA-approved sports recovery boot. Regulatory-facing product decisions with hardware/software integration constraints.
