I'm at my best working on products where strategy, creativity, and real user needs overlap — the kind of products people have feelings about.
Eight years in, my career path has seen a bit of everything. A little over a year as a formal Product Manager at Spark, leading product across multiple brands with millions of users — fraud, compliance, multilingual translation, AI matchmaking, all in one year. Four years founding Weaver, where I built a dating app from an idea to a live product with paying customers and did a little of every job. Around three years as a UX/product designer at Epic plus freelance after that, where I learned the foundations of usability, HCI, and understanding users.
Underpinning it all, my industrial design degree is where the design thinking and user-centered instincts I continue to leverage took root.
Currently, I'm working on growing Spicebound — an AI-powered book lookup built for fantasy romance readers. I wrote the LLM enrichment prompt and multi-source data strategy, then took the complete build over from an outsourced dev team and rebuilt it solo: 208 PRs, a full redesign, and live Stripe subscriptions and affiliate links in six weeks, plus significant rework on model accuracy, security, and the data pipeline — analytics and an internal admin dashboard included. All dev work is solo from here on. It started as a vibe-code experiment I liked enough to make real.
What I bring that doesn't fit on a resume: real founder reps, intuitive user empathy and user-centered approach, comfort with ambiguity, growth mindset, figure-it-outer, emotional intelligence, and a habit of owning hard problems with minimal oversight.
