— About Me

Bridging the Gap Between High-Scale Engineering and Corporate Boardrooms

I am a Principal AI Product Manager and Enterprise Platform Leader with over 25 years of cross-functional execution experience across project management, Agile scaling frameworks, and corporate delivery. Throughout my career at Tier-1 institutions like Bank of America, Charles Schwab, and USAA, I have built a reputation as an executive who knows how to operationalize artificial intelligence safely, securely, and with measurable ROI.

As a business-first leader, my technical value lies in system orchestration, token-cost optimization, risk containment, and context engineering. I design the governance playbooks, the custom Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) prioritization metrics, and the human-in-the-loop workflows that ensure enterprise systems achieve 0.00% hallucination across production runs. I excel at building, protecting, and leading elite technical teams—empowering engineers to build advanced models while keeping the underlying product strictly tied to compliance guidelines, corporate strategy, and client requirements.

I am an executive who treats AI not just as an engineering experiment, but as a critical infrastructure layer optimized for financial accuracy, security, and scalability.
