I'd rather build it than talk about it.

About

Most product managers write specs and wait.
I write code.

Claude and Claude Code are my design tool — the same way another PM opens Figma, I open Claude Code and go from idea to a real, working, demoable product, myself.

Beyond the Build

Curious by default. Hands-on by choice.

When Pillar — an AI interview companion tool — landed on my team after an acquisition, half the engineers on it didn't actually know what the product did. I paired up with a senior PM and a designer to rebuild it from the inside out: tighter integration with the company's existing ATS, a long list of bugs finally closed, a workflow that actually made sense end to end. Adoption jumped soon after launch.

Off the clock, I paint, take orders from my cats, and treat "I don't know how to do this yet" as an invitation rather than a warning. I'm happiest mid-challenge, and there's always a next trip half-planned.

01 — Featured Work

Resolved

Prototype → Pivot → PRD

Appliance broke? Get it to the people who can actually fix it.

Started as an agent that fights support bots. Pivoted into an after-sales bridge that gets a washer or TV to the brand's authorized service with a complete request, and keeps people away from repairs with non-original parts. React prototype, PRD, and 12 clickable screens, including the console a brand would pay for.

02 — Case Study

Career Coach Hallucination Eval

LLM Eval & Prompt Design

AI coaches sound confident even when they're wrong. This measures exactly how often — and fixes it with one prompt change, not a model upgrade.

30 test cases across six failure modes, scored against a naive vs. a grounded system prompt on the same model. Pass rate: 30% → 98%. On the highest-stakes category — visa/legal questions — it went from 0% to 100%.
