About

The person behind
the product.

I started writing PHP. Then I designed architectures. Then I led products. After 15 years, I've come to understand that the best products are built by people who've lived all three layers — the code, the system, and the human problem.

Today I lead product delivery at Pi R Square, where I help enterprises and SMEs build digital solutions that actually work. I specialize in translating ambiguity into clarity — and then shipping it.

Today I use AI as a working system, not a bolt-on feature — improving how teams manage context, documentation, decisions, and execution. I am growing toward Head/VP Product & Technology leadership while taking on selected Product & AI Systems advisory engagements.

What I Do

Where I create
the most value.

From discovery to go-live — I bring structure, depth, and momentum to every product I own.

Product Ownership

End-to-end lifecycle — discovery, backlog, sprint cycles, UAT, go-live. I keep teams aligned and stakeholders informed without sacrificing velocity.

AI-Powered Delivery

I actively integrate LLMs, Notion AI agents, and automation into product workflows — cutting turnaround dramatically. AI isn't a feature I build; it's how I work.

Platform Strategy

As a former system architect, I bring genuine technical depth — API design, integrations, system constraints. I understand the systems I manage.

Cross-Functional Leadership

Led teams of 5–10 across design, dev, QA, and compliance. I speak engineering and business equally — fewer misunderstandings, faster decisions.
