Strategy without execution is just a slide deck. I close that gap, from discovery to delivery, with the accountability to own what ships.

§02 · Philosophy
“I started as a developer. That is not a footnote. It shapes how I scope work, talk to engineers, and know when something is actually hard versus just poorly defined.”
§03 · Operating Model
How I work.
Repeatable across domains. Adjusts to the team, not to a template. This is the loop clients actually get.
- 01Step
Diagnose.
Time with customers and the team, not just stakeholders. I surface the real problem before anyone writes a spec, so we fix the right thing.
Voice of customerSQLJobs-to-be-done - 02Step
Define.
Scope the smallest thing the team can actually ship that moves the metric. Kill work that cannot justify itself. No roadmap theater.
RICEOKRsHypotheses - 03Step
Build.
Embedded alongside design and engineering. I write the ticket, read the PR, unblock the ambiguity, and keep the scope honest as the work meets reality.

Own.
Launch is mile zero. I instrument, measure, iterate, and hold the line on accountability. Outcomes, not outputs.

§04 · About
The full picture.
I started as a full-stack developer (ASP.NET, PHP, Node.js). That background is not decorative. It gives me the vocabulary to have real technical conversations, the instinct to catch scope creep before it lands in a sprint, and the credibility to push back when something is being over-engineered.
Over 10 years I moved through every layer of product: developer, Product Owner, Senior PM, Product Operations. That path gave me range. I can run discovery, coach a team, fix a broken process, or go heads-down on a roadmap that actually reflects reality.
Accountability is not a value I list. It is how I operate. I own outcomes, not just outputs, and I expect the same from the teams I work with.
