PM.
Operator.
Closer.

I've spent seven years leading cross-functional teams through the kind of work that doesn't have clean edges — product launches, operational overhauls, systems that need to hold up under pressure. My experience spans SaaS, aerospace, and advertising, and I've been comfortable in all three.

What I do well is sit in the middle of moving pieces. I translate between teams. I organize next steps when things get messy. I keep stakeholders connected to what actually matters. I'm a Certified ScrumMaster and have led teams across time zones, backlogs, and boardrooms — and I do it without a lot of noise.

Right now I'm freelancing and open to full-time PM and Ops roles. I work fast, communicate clearly, and I've started integrating AI tools into the way I work — because that's where this is all going.

01
Backlog Cleanup
Your Jira or Linear backlog is a mess — I've seen it before. I audit, restructure, and prioritize so your team can actually see what matters and stop tripping over dead tickets.
02
Epic & Story Writing
Clear, well-scoped epics, user stories, and tickets with real acceptance criteria. The kind engineers actually want to read. Written fast, no fluff.
03
Workflow Optimization
I map your current process, find where things are slowing down, and redesign it so your team spends less time managing work and more time doing it.
