Entrepreneur

2000–2008

I built websites, ran an ecommerce bamboo company, and started a web design business. I also helped launch JackThreads before it sold to Thrillist.

Agency & Digital

2008–2013

I was the first project manager at AirTight Design, then built Scout Marketing's first in-house digital team. I led development of apps, websites, and campaigns.

Startup Founder

2013–2016

I co-founded Kanga, an app-based local delivery service. I architected the first version, hired the dev team, and grew it from consumer delivery into a B2B product.

Product Leadership

2016–Present

As Director of Product at Crown & Caliber, I led a team of 20+ and built the platforms for buying and selling pre-owned luxury watches. That tech helped land the HODINKEE acquisition. I'm now Technical PM at OxBlue, working across engineering, product, and leadership. I use Claude AI to automate our Jira and Confluence workflows and build reporting that leadership actually reads.
