Product Manager focused on civic technology, government modernization, and AI for the public sector.
I've spent 15+ years working every side of the government technology relationship: as a municipal employee, as an enterprise account executive serving 10,000+ government customers, and as a platform builder. That vantage point shapes how I think about product — the best government tech is built with agencies, not just for them.
- Government procurement & financial systems — Led cloud migration of an $80M ARR platform serving LA County, State of Utah, UC Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley National Labs (Gordian/Fortive)
- Legacy modernization — My framing: it's a trust problem, not a technical problem
- AI for public sector — Applying tools like Claude and Whisper to automate and augment government workflows

"The gap between what government technology promises and what it delivers is a product problem. I work on closing it."
