🏆
Product of the Year · NAB 2023
Recognized for FAST channel playout architecture, SSAI integration, and AI-driven content operations pipeline at WiseDV.
Problems Solved. Products Built.
What my work actually looks like
Three product areas where I have defined the experience, owned the architecture decisions, and iterated on real user behavior.
AI Pipeline
AI-Powered Content Discovery
Replaced a static content grid with an LLM-assisted discovery layer. The pipeline ingests watch history, real-time signals, and editorial weights to surface content that is relevant before users know they want it.
LLM-ranked content rails with real-time personalization
Autoplay trailer triggers on dwell, not just hover
Sports moment surfacing during live events
Human-in-loop editorial override layer
120% engagement lift during live sports

Live Sports WatchParty
Mid-event drop-off during live sports was the core problem. The fix was a synchronized engagement layer built on top of the player, not inside it, so it could not affect playback stability.
WebSocket sync layer decoupled from HLS playback path

AI Operations
AI Content Operations Pipeline
Content ops was a manual bottleneck. Every asset needed human tagging, caption review, and ad breakpoint identification before it could publish. The AI pipeline replaced all three with model-assisted workflows and human review gates.

How I Work
The full cycle, owned
From first principles to post-launch iteration. Every phase of the product lifecycle, fully owned.
01
Product Strategy & Roadmap Ownership
Start with business goals, work backwards. Opportunity sizing, OKR alignment, and roadmap prioritization grounded in data and real customer discovery.
02
Technical Product Specs
PRDs, FRDs, and API documentation that engineering can build from on day one. Fluent in systems architecture, streaming protocols, and technical tradeoffs.
03
AI Pipeline Integration
Identify where LLMs, ML models, and automation can replace manual workflows. Design the data flows, define accuracy thresholds, and build human-in-the-loop review where it matters.
04
Cross-Functional Leadership
Lead without authority. Design, engineering, data, sales, ops. Build alignment across all of them and represent the product externally at conferences and with partners.
05
Customer & Operator Discovery
Structured discovery: user interviews, operator feedback loops, and competitive analysis before writing a single requirement.
06
Data-Driven Prioritization
Amplitude, BigQuery, Looker, and A/B testing for decisions that are defensible and reversible. Instinct is the last resort, not the first.
07
Executive Communication
Translate technical complexity into business language. Tradeoffs, risks, and recommendations. Not status updates.
08
Launch and Post-Launch Optimization
Own the go-to-market, not just the spec. Then track funnels, run experiments, and iterate fast. A launch is the start of learning.
