How I Work

Practical operating principles demonstrated across early-stage AI products, computer vision pipelines, and connected hardware.

Turning Ambiguous Problems into Structured Requirements

Transforming loose product concepts into clear PRDs, prioritized engineering backlogs, and explicit success criteria before committing development resources.

Demonstrated in: MegaShot Pickl+ PRDs & Sensor Scoping

Connecting Technical Constraints with Delivery Decisions

Evaluating hardware battery limitations, BLE packet budgets, and inference latencies alongside user experience goals to choose practical architectural trade-offs.

Demonstrated in: Metashot <80ms Inference & Pickl+ BLE Architecture

Coordinating Execution & Learning from Feedback

Aligning cross-functional sprints across engineering, UX, and launch streams while using real player test telemetry to drive firmware and software revisions.
