Product, Design, AI / ML

Over the past 15 years, I've forged a unique path in the tech industry as a product manager and human interface designer. My journey has been defined by a seamless navigation between consumer and enterprise products, powered by a rare combination of technical depth, product vision, and mission-driven leadership.

Based in upstate New York, I've cultivated a career that thrives on adaptability. I move fluidly between leading teams and contributing as an individual at the principal level, consistently delivering transformative results.

In the last 5 years, my focus has shifted towards designing and building human-centered machine learning (ML) and data products. Currently, I'm bringing this expertise to Spotify as a senior product manager. Here, I work at the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI) and ML, collaborating with a diverse team of research scientists, engineers, data scientists, and subject matter experts to invent new approaches to understand and enhance Spotify's vast content library across music, podcasts, and audiobooks.

My role at Spotify is multifaceted. I lead the development of our human-in-the-loop annotation platform, spearhead new data and ML product initiatives, and drive overall automation efforts. A particular passion of mine lies in innovation at the intersection of AI/ML and user experience, creating cutting-edge technologies that will power Spotify's next-generation products and services.

Before Spotify, I applied my skills at PathAI, where we harnessed the power of AI for diagnostics and medical research in digital pathology. Our mission was to improve patient outcomes through AI-powered pathology, aligning perfectly with my commitment to creating impactful technology.

Throughout my career, I've maintained an unwavering commitment to transforming innovative ideas into impactful products. My ability to navigate both strategic leadership and hands-on execution has been key to my success in the complex landscape of modern tech.

As the industry evolves, I remain dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what's possible, developing products that are genuinely transformative for both users and businesses alike. I am deeply committed to transforming complex technologies into intuitive experiences, driving innovation that bridges the gap between cutting-edge AI and everyday user needs.
