I ship AI-assisted products and integration platforms.
Solo founder of ChoreStar (117+ users, built with LLM-assisted workflows) and Technical Product Manager who owns the platform integrations portfolio at Practifi, the Salesforce-native CRM for financial advisors. Before product, I spent fifteen years as a developer and consultant — I still read the Apex, write the SOQL, and debug the OAuth flow myself.
My career is the career of someone who couldn't stay in one lane. I graduated from the Art Institutes in 2011 with a web design degree and went straight to an agency floor, writing HTML and CSS for the Target.com relaunch. Three years at Thomson Reuters, a contract at Ameriprise, a full-stack bootcamp at Prime Digital, a stint at Digital River — and somewhere in there I picked up Salesforce.
That's what shifted things. Working on nCino at U.S. Bank meant sitting next to product managers and actually seeing what the job was: translate messy reality into a roadmap, keep engineering unblocked, keep clients calm. I got good at it by being the person who could have both conversations — the one with the architect and the one with the VP. Two years at West Monroe sharpened the consulting side; three years at Practifi moved me from BA to growth consultant to platform engineer to PM.
On the side, I built ChoreStar — a gamified chore-tracking SaaS for families — as a solo founder using LLM-assisted workflows with Claude, Codex, Cursor, and large language models across research, product thinking, development, and iteration. 117+ users, including paying subscribers, real retention data, a Product Hunt launch, and a product I actually use with my own kids.
Outcome-oriented roadmaps for enterprise SaaS — the kind that hold up in front of both the engineering team and the C-suite.
Designing how platforms talk to each other — authentication, data models, partner-ready environments, the lifecycle from intake to sign-off.
Tracking partner roadmaps, aligning release timelines, and keeping delivery approaches consistent across a portfolio of integrations.
Growth experiments, usage analytics, and retention data — picking the next bet based on what the numbers actually say.
Shipping real products with LLM-assisted workflows — from research and scoping through development, launch, and iteration. Proven solo with ChoreStar; applicable to zero-to-one and AI-first product teams.
A selection of the things I'm proud of — side projects that pay rent, Salesforce implementations that changed how banks lend, and the websites that trained me to ship.
A gamified chore-tracking SaaS for families.

I'm actively open to product management roles at the intersection of AI-native building, platform integrations, Salesforce, fintech SaaS, and API products — including technical PM, integrations PM, platform PM, and AI-first product teams.
Recruiters and hiring managers usually find me where product strategy meets hands-on technical fluency: roadmap ownership, partner intake, OAuth and API workflows, Salesforce and nCino delivery, LLM-assisted product development, data-model decisions, release sign-off, and cross-functional delivery. Based in Minneapolis; open to remote and hybrid.
Recruiters and hiring managers — I'm open to work and happy to walk through fit, scope, and timeline. Fastest paths are email or LinkedIn. Also glad to discuss integrations, partner platforms, Salesforce product work, or indie SaaS.
