I've built AI products at Meta, developer tools for the U.S. Army, and an AI startup from scratch. Currently pursuing an MIT MicroMasters in Data Science and open to senior PM opportunities.
I've spent 7+ years building products at the intersection of AI/ML and public sector consulting. I joined Meta as one of the first 6 hires on the Misinformation team, partnering with engineering to evolve 25 AI models, launching three AI threat analysis tools, and scaling the Related Articles ML product to 2B+ users.
From there, I consulted on crisis response operations for Eric Ries's COVID coalition and led digital strategy for a Congressional campaign. Then I went forward-deployed to the U.S. Army Software Factory at VMware, shipping developer tools (DoD Secret clearance), and cutting security review times by 93%.
Most recently, I founded an AI startup through Antler VC. I co-architected a production LLM/RAG system, won the Antler hackathon (1st of 80 teams), and grew a 130-person waitlist in four weeks. I wound it down when the co-founder search didn't yield a full-time technical match for fundraising.
From AI products at scale to developer tools for the U.S. Army to founding an AI startup.
Selected for the Antler VC Founder-in-Residence program. Recruited an engineering team, led 60+ customer interviews, and co-architected a production LLM/RAG system achieving ~85% accuracy. Developed a $3B go-to-market strategy and grew a 130-person waitlist in four weeks. Wound down after co-founder search did not yield a full-time technical match for fundraising.
Led a forward-deployed product team for VMware's enterprise B2B SaaS portfolio at the U.S. Army Software Factory. Interviewed 30+ Army developers, secured buy-in to staff a dedicated developer experience team, and shipped tablet-based applications for edge hardware. Mentored 17 product teams on Lean practices through demos, trainings, and workshops.
Joined a 10-person product org to launch a fintech platform for domestic workers. Identified a critical business model flaw, pivoted team focus to the existing Alia Cares product, increased user adoption by 75%, and recommended sunsetting the unviable product to avoid $9M in downside risk.
Developed measurable programs and reporting for Eric Ries's COVID-response coalition, integrating Scrum for an executive team and unlocking $30M in funding. Devised product strategy and analytics for a Congressional re-election campaign, doubling the volunteer base.
Joined as one of the first 6 hires on Meta's misinformation team, which scaled to 300+ personnel. Partnered with engineering to evolve 25 AI models, reducing misinformation by 30% across 2B+ users. Launched three AI threat analysis tools, cutting escalation resolution time from 7 days to 24 hours. Delivered the global expansion of the Related Articles ML product from 1B to 2B+ users.
I write about the craft of building products with AI, with teams, and in regulated environments.
Guidance for leaders on designing products with team input to build products that are bolder and more loved by users.
"We are each inherently biased to favor our areas of expertise. When you loop in the entire team, it balances out our natural blind spots."
