    Pitch: Technical product manager and AI builder. Solid pre-AI SaaS experience in HRIS health insurance platforms Zenefits and Ease.

    I&#x27;ve leaned hard into generative AI across a broad range of domains, including local LLM infrastructure, candidate-side hiring software, AI transcription, voice&#x2F;agent systems, and human-in-the-loop tools. Comfortable working with code generation technologies and building.

    Most useful feature I&#x27;ve built: résumé engagement telemetry using hash-based tokens. I get a push notification when a submitted résumé is clicked on. Useful since LinkedIn provides almost no signal these days.

    Looking for product roles where I can stay close to the work: identifying the problem, building&#x2F;prototyping, working directly with engineering, and shipping.
