About

Data Product Manager building production-ready products at the intersection of enterprise data platforms and emerging AI technologies. At Oracle, I bring 7+ years of experience shipping complex analytics dashboards and internal data tools, including Oracle APEX–based systems, used at scale across global stakeholders. Alongside enterprise work, I build AI products hands-on—spanning autonomous market validation, research automation, intelligent outreach, conversational AI, and AI-driven career platforms. This experience provides practical depth in agentic system design, LLM-powered workflows, and the realities of shipping probabilistic systems in production. I combine enterprise product discipline, strong data fluency, and applied AI expertise to deliver products that solve real business problems.
