Most people ask "what do you want?". I ask for your story, then deliver what you really need.
While others build standalone features, I design integrated workflows.
While others add another portal to the stack, I embed solutions where users already work.
While others accept "order-taker" engineering culture, I transform teams from reactive to product-led.
What I actually do:
-
Product thinking, not feature thinking
- SVPG-trained + Product Manager certification.
- Implemented product analytics (Pendo, Gainsight) to drive data-driven decisions.
- Led customer discovery in pharma and government.
- Ask "what opportunity or problem are we trying to solve?" before opening Figma.
- Figma is a tool. Microsoft Paint is a tool. Ever seen someone wear a tool belt to a wedding?
-
Technical depth
- Started coding at 15 in 1995.
- Shipped production features in Vue, Angular, Blazor, and .NET MVC.
- Built design systems across multiple stacks.
- Rapid prototype solutions to validate before engineering investment.
- Build custom reusable web components.
- Theme 3rd party component libraries.
- Git, Branching Strategies, and CI/CD pipelines.
-
Design systems at scale
- Built MMIT's design system focused on developer experience, not design perfection.
- Created self-service systems that unblocked engineering velocity.
- Documented in Confluence so teams could ship without design bottlenecks.
-
Platform integration expertise
- Designed Veeva CRM integration modules at MMIT embedding market access data where pharma teams already worked.
- Saw the need for integration over isolation.
- Core principle: don't make users leave where they work all day - unless you have something "magic".
-
Healthcare & life sciences domain
- 9 years across pharmaceutical regulatory software (Reed Tech), market access intelligence (MMIT), and government enterprise architecture (Senate).
- I understand complex workflows, compliance requirements (21 CFR Part 11, GxP), and how to build products for sophisticated users in regulated environments.
-
Cultural transformation
- I identify when talented engineers are trapped in "build what they ask for" mode and transform them into empowered product teams.
- This requires teaching product discovery, implementing analytics, and sometimes helping people understand they need to adapt or leave.
- Not every consultant will tell you the hard truth—I will.
-
Terms that make me cringe
- Feature Factory
- Maintenance Mode
- Put it in the backlog
I've directed consultants, coached teammates, been put in front of customers because I ask the
right questions, and built products used by Fortune 500 pharmaceutical companies.
I'm an 'OG' coder. While working at Burlington back in 1995 I was assigned their corporate intranet.
Imagine a time when the web was novel and misunderstood - "assign it to that kid".
I don't have a computer science degree. I have 30 years in design and development.
Let's build something that actually matters.
