About Me

I am a Product Owner with experience working in a Scrum / Agile environment and a track record of success directing the efforts of developers on projects in a deadline-driven and fast-paced environment. I have nine years of experience building out a wide variety of B2C and B2B/SaaS digital products from scratch, in a variety of roles, from being a frontend dev(CMS) to a project manager/scrum master, a technical product manager, and a senior product manager. My latest projects involve acting as a lead product manager for developing a trail-blazing SaaS product for home inspection companies, property insurance agents, and homeowners in Florida, USA, and a contract role at Pfizer as a product owner/service manager on their DevOps group with a globally distributed team but administrative bases in the US and UK.
