Twenty-plus years designing and shipping software at scale. Principal, Senior Manager at Fidelity, the most senior individual-contributor level, parallel to Director, on flagship mobile through the 2020 shift to digital-first investing, where fractional trading reached roughly 80% adoption in its launch year. Lead on AI/ML-composed surfaces in Meta's Ads Manager. On Stackdriver's leadership team through its acquisition by Google, then lead on its implementation into Google Cloud. Founder and CPO of Shapemix ($2M raised, US Patent 20110271186A1).

I build what I design. Currently product owner for the technology pipeline on the Adobe account at Tag (Dentsu), accountable across four regions, and sole designer-builder of a multi-tenant SaaS platform at Cubiq. I run Aboutface IO, a research practice on how people perceive and trust information, and ship production software with Claude Code through a codified collaborative workflow.

Track record across consumer fintech, enterprise SaaS, ad-tech and developer tools, in regulated environments such as financial services, insurance and central banking, where compliance and customer outcomes both have to land. Works best in tight teams aligned around a shared product vision, building from informed positions: competitive and market data, customer research, hard numbers. Former Senior Critic at RISD; former Lecturer at Lesley and Emerson.

Currently building

Design + dev + AI-driven work. Solo or lead builder.

Product owner for the technology pipeline behind Adobe's global campaign production, accountable across four organizations and four regions through roughly sixteen systems. Reverse engineered a fifty-node localization process into a validated node registry, then authored the integration design the team is building: every step binds to a capability rather than a named tool, so competing production surfaces stay options under one commercial model instead of a migration everyone has to be talked into. Proved the Figma round trip end to end: copy and imagery pulled from Workfront into the canvas, laid out per locale, rendered back out with no designer in the loop after the layout pass. Also designed and ran an eight-lane multi-agent AI delivery team, in daily use.

Sole product, design, and build owner of a white-label multi-tenant SaaS platform replacing Cubiq's legacy Rails/Heroku system — built as a strangler-fig parallel to a live app serving 1,000 customers. Three surfaces (operator dashboard, customer portal, staff mobile). Claude-API lead-response ships in Phase 4; an after-hours AI voice-agent intake is on the roadmap. End-to-end product responsibility, from strategy through shipped code.

Quartz Composer reimagined for current creative-coding practice — a node-based cross-modal DAW/compositor for macOS. Real-time picture and sound from typed graphs; dual live/offline runtimes; plugin architecture. Solo build in two months via the codified AI-collaborative workflow. Build targets across audio, video, interaction, and VR/spatial audio.

End-to-end proof of AI-augmented product delivery — a fast, local, opinionated image viewer for Mac. Opens 70+ formats, reads and writes EXIF, strips surveillance metadata before you share, keeps tags in plain JSON next to your files. Native Swift / AppKit. Shipped in the App Store.

A satirical publication with a working newsroom behind it. Forty-four case files under one taxonomy: case number, category, severity, time filed. The Hall of Shame and Field Report indexes are generated from the record rather than maintained by hand. An MCP server drives queueing, scheduling, the newsletter and publishing; an image inbox ingests the weekly Midjourney drop without caring what the files are named. The design problem is voice and continuity across forty-four entries written by a narrator who is not me. The pipeline is only how it ships.

Write the ask rough; get back a structured prompt and a shorthand of the moves that got you there. Every move is marked — ✓ you already said this, + we filled it in, _ only you can know this — and the blanks stay blank, because a model inventing your facts is the failure mode the tool exists to prevent. The argument underneath is cost. The model is not in the request path: visitors are served a deterministic engine that runs in their own browser, and Claude runs offline at intervals over scrubbed captures to improve the framework everyone gets for free. Measured at $0.0325 per ask served live, against $0.0164 to review one in a batch, paid once.

Past product & design leadership

Meta, Fidelity, Google, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, Shapemix, and more.

Led the product experience for Ads Manager surfaces in the audience-expansion area, where page content and layout were composed at runtime from AI/ML model output. Designed the ML decision-workflows themselves — not just the surfaces displaying model output, but how the model chose scope and method for affecting change across advertiser campaigns.

Senior product leadership on Fidelity's flagship mobile apps during the 2020 pandemic-era shift to digital-first investing, serving millions of customers in a heavily regulated retail-brokerage environment. Grew and owned the mobile product practice across iOS and Android — strategy, cross-functional coordination, shared platform infrastructure, and shipped outcomes.

Part of the Stackdriver leadership team through the Google acquisition that brought Stackdriver into Google Cloud as Cloud Monitoring and Cloud Logging. Product research on data visualization methods for cloud computing logs and events was a direct driver of the outcome. Shipped a canvas-based rendering method for d3.js — a memory-efficient technique that, to my knowledge, is still standard in Google Cloud today.

As Lead Strategist for the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia's website redesign, I conducted stakeholder interviews and comprehensive assessments of information, data, and accessibility. This work led to the development of a structured system that improved user journeys, information architecture, and community engagement.

Founded and led product as CPO. Raised $2M and launched cloud-based music entertainment products on the cross-modal perception thesis that sound has shape. Owned vision, strategy, GTM, and core infrastructure end-to-end — coded the original demo in Java, wrote the fundamental drawing code in Objective-C, architected the server/client stem-hosting and mixing engine. US Patent 20110271186A1.

Coded an AR demo in Unity with ARKit and geospatial APIs — real-time tide-line visualization overlaid on live video under varying conditions. Won the pitch; Cantina continued the work after I left.

Coded the working prototype for mobile and embedded device navigation in Origami Studio + JavaScript for an FDA-approved sports recovery boot. Regulatory-facing product decisions with hardware/software integration constraints.

Managing Director leading a global product team of seven designers and front-end engineers. Reviewed PRs and made light code contributions; partnered with product management on IT tooling for remote computer security and management.
