There's this idea that one should fit their resume in just one page. Trying to squeeze your experience, your impact, and your personality into a single page sounds like a recipe to leave the best parts out. So I built this instead. 🤷‍♂️

I'm a Product Manager with 5+ years of experience building digital products that directly drive revenue. I currently lead the telehealth product for North America at hear.com — owning the full product lifecycle across a suite of web applications, shipping features that have contributed over $5.7M in annual revenue, and most recently driving the US market adaptation of a ground-up platform rebuild that freed 83+ provider hours per week across our provider network.

My background sits at the intersection of payments, healthcare technology, and AI-powered product development. I'm technical enough to work closely with engineers, data-driven enough to build my own dashboards, and business-minded enough to connect every decision to an outcome that matters.

Outside of healthcare, I'm deeply passionate about fintech, crypto/blockchain, and the music and live events space — industries I follow closely and where I see some of the most exciting product challenges being solved right now.

Experience

Product Manager

January, 2024 - Present

I lead the telehealth product for North America, owning the full product roadmap and managing a cross-functional team of 5 engineers, 1 engineering manager, and 1 QA specialist across 5 web applications — customer-facing, partner-facing, and internal tools — all connected through API integrations and asynchronous messaging architecture.

  • Identified core scheduling inefficiencies, defined the solution architecture, and drove full-cycle delivery of a Provider Recommendation Service that intelligently matched customers to optimal providers based on availability and capability — reducing operational costs by $150,000/year and contributing $5.7M in additional annual revenue.
  • Enhanced the PRS with a performance scoring mechanism that prioritizes high-converting providers (higher closing rates, lower return rates), optimizing appointment routing and reducing wasted capacity for internal salaried providers.

Associate Product Manager

January, 2022 - December, 2023

Moving into Associate PM landed me in the middle of our FinOps team — my first pure product management role and the foundation of my payments and cross-functional execution experience.

  • Led development of a unified payment platform integrating Stripe and Allegro APIs — improving EBITDA by over $200,000/year, reducing manual processes by 70%, and achieving a 95% adoption rate.
  • Defined product requirements for chargeback and dispute management flows, reducing financial exposure and improving resolution processes across the payments team.

ERP Support Specialist

November, 2020 - January, 2022

This is where my tech career started — a role that turned out to be the best possible foundation for product management.

  • Reduced average issue resolution time from several days to 1–2 days by building independent troubleshooting skills and creating a structured escalation process between U.S. stakeholders and the development team in Berlin.
  • As I grew more comfortable with the technical aspects, I found myself naturally gravitating toward product work. I started helping our product manager gather requirements from different business units and collaborated with cross-functional teams to bring new features to life in Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

What I'm Looking For

I'm looking for a PM role at a product-first company — somewhere that features directly drive revenue and where I can be surrounded by experienced product people I can learn from and grow alongside.

My target industries are fintech and payments, crypto and blockchain, and music and live events. Long-term, I'm working toward a CPO role or founding my own company.

I'm based in Denver and open to remote roles, with a longer-term goal of relocating to New York City.
