Organized, detail-oriented Computer Science graduate who turns requirements from non-technical clients into scoped tasks, timelines, and clear documentation. I have delivered healthcare and insurance software, led client engagements, and allocated a $2.6M funding portfolio.
Case Studies
Problem, users, the call I made, and the outcome, written for a product reader.
Pippa: A two-sided clinical product. I owned discovery, the backlog, and the rule for who is allowed to see a number.
HerdRight: Five people, three workstreams, one marketplace. I kept payments, listings, and pricing from becoming three products.
VerifyAI: One day, four people, a single job. We cut until the demo was a product.
Neighborhood Finance: A nonprofit needed an eligibility answer. I led the team and left them able to change the map without us.
W.R. Berkley: Underwriters were retyping the same record. I scoped the path and got three teams to ship the replacement.
Student funding: A real budget, competing requests, and a written decision. The stakeholders did not work in software.
What I Do
Discovery: Sit with the person who does the job: clinicians, underwriters, loan officers. The requirement is what they repeat.
Scope & Backlog: A prioritized backlog, a two-week cadence, and a written no. Fixed deadlines get a smaller product, not a vaguer one.
Timelines & Releases: Release timelines from first requirement through launch, routed through review and approval steps.
Status Reporting: Status reports for clients and internal stakeholders that turn technical detail into clear next steps.
Budget Tracking: Budgets and expenses tracked against what is actually available, with every allocation documented.
Documentation: Product and process docs organized so clients can onboard and maintain the work without engineering support.
Selected Results
Pippa: Ran discovery with 229+ clinicians and delivered a two-sided platform to 200+ clinics and 10K+ daily users.
W.R. Berkley: Found and automated a manual workflow by shadowing staff, saving 4,500+ hours a year across three teams.
Student Government: Reviewed and allocated $2.6M+ in annual student funding, documenting every allocation decision.
Neighborhood Finance: Delivered a mapping system that saves the client $100,000+ a year, with documentation they use to maintain it.
VerifyAI: Scoped and shipped a working product under a one-day deadline and took 1st of 28 teams.
FAQ
How do you gather requirements?: Discovery calls and shadowing. At Pippa that meant 229+ clinician conversations; at Berkley it meant watching underwriters do the work before writing a single ticket.
How do you keep stakeholders aligned?: Short written status reports, a single prioritized backlog, and review and approval steps that every team can see before a release.
What tools do you use?: Jira and Confluence for delivery, Figma for flows, Microsoft Office and Google Workspace for docs and budgets, and SQL, Git, and AWS when I need to look under the hood.
Does your technical background help?: Yes. I can read the code, the data model, and the pipeline, so I scope work engineers agree with and catch risks before they become schedule slips.
What role are you looking for?: Product or project management roles where I can own scope and delivery alongside an experienced team. I am based in Chicago.
