My products engage millions of annual visitors and registered developers across the full lifecycle — from platform discovery and education through app monetization.

I directly manage engineering teams shipping production software to internal and external developers — defining the “what” and “why” while directly leading my engineering team on the “how.” My career has been built on translating complex technical systems into business strategy, aligning stakeholders across matrixed organizations, and shipping products that drive measurable outcomes.

What I do:

How I work: I use AI-assisted prototyping tools (Kiro, Claude Code, CrewAI, MCP) to sharpen specs and accelerate engineer handoff — prototypes give my engineering team a concrete starting point rather than a spec document. From PRFAQ-generation pipelines to personal chief-of-staff automations, I prototype product ideas at personal scale so the decisions I bring to engineering are sharper.

Amazon

Senior Manager, Product Management

October 2025 — Present

Head of Amazon Developer Technology. Directly managing a 16-person horizontal team shipping production software to internal and external developers — engineers (with an SDM direct report), technical product managers, technical program managers, business intelligence engineers, data engineers, and marketing operations specialists across multiple time zones. Our products span the full developer lifecycle — acquisition, education, and monetization enablement — while providing the analytics and attribution infrastructure that internal teams use to optimize channel performance.

Defining product strategy for a portfolio of first-party and third-party products serving multiple Amazon Devices & Services business units. Key focus areas include AI-powered developer tools, enterprise data platforms, and content velocity infrastructure.

Current strategic priorities:

  • Defining the team's intelligence layer strategy, organizing initiatives across unified developer intelligence, contextual knowledge delivery, and content velocity
  • Shipping concurrent AI-powered products — including an agentic developer assistant (launched June 2026, upgrading from a single-model Q&A chatbot to a multi-agent system that partner teams can extend), an LLM-powered Voice of Customer feedback platform, and a natural-language-to-SQL data access agent — with quality-bar gating that has paused one launch for accuracy issues engineering metrics had not caught
  • Led a cross-org decision with partner engineering teams to consolidate competing AI retrieval products for developers into a single customer-facing product, now generally available to external partners — my team owns the underlying documentation and knowledge layer that powers it
  • Leading a horizontal team spanning engineering, data engineering, business intelligence, technical program management, and marketing operations
  • Establishing hub-and-spoke operating model for shared technology infrastructure across the organization
  • Defining measurable quality acceptance criteria for RAG/LLM products (retrieval precision, actionability, follow-through) as release gates rather than aspirational goals

Head of MarTech & Analytics

April 2024 — October 2025

Led a MarTech team within Amazon's Devices Business Development, Tooling, Education & Technology organization, focused on enabling external developers to succeed on Amazon devices.
