About me

I build customer-centered products and solution narratives that make life and work easier and more enjoyable. With 6+ years of experience leading engineering and consulting projects across Canada and the U.S., I have learned how to run discovery conversations, align diverse stakeholders, and deliver results.

I began my career managing multi-million-dollar infrastructure projects, balancing innovation, compliance, and customer needs. That experience taught me how to devise strategies, make high-impact tradeoffs, and keep both customer and business outcomes at the center of every decision.

I am currently an MBA candidate at the Rotman School of Management, focused on product management and technology strategy. I enjoy working at the intersection of customer insight, technical depth, and data-informed decision making. Recently, I have:

  • Built an n8n AI agent to automate interview preparation
  • Shipped StyleMaven, a styling assistant that provides cohesive outfit recommendations
  • Designed FamLink, an app helping immigrant parents navigate travel and healthcare
  • Created Numina, a platform for creating custom calculators

I am passionate about turning customer insights into clear product and solution direction, partnering cross-functionally to execute, and measuring impact through strong success metrics.
