The Journey So Far

From rockets to AI, building products that matter

I'm currently a Senior Product Manager at Arize AI, where I focus on ML observability and helping teams build reliable AI systems at scale.

My background spans some of the most innovative companies in tech: SpaceX (Mars program & Dragon rockets), Tesla (Mobile App & Virtual Power Plant), and Twitter (Content Moderation at global scale).

At Federato, I grew from Engineer to PM, achieving a 1048% DAU increase and driving $150K upsells. I bring technical depth with product intuition.

I co-host "The Next Iteration" podcast (top 5% globally), where I interview industry leaders about building better versions of themselves and their work.
