About

I started in a lab, not a boardroom.

My PhD from Cornell was in Plant Pathology - how pathogens invade host systems, what makes some defenses work and others fail. It's niche, but it taught me something I use every single day: complex systems have logic, and your job is to find it.

What I figured out pretty quickly in the lab was that my favorite part wasn't the research itself. It was the moment when I could take something genuinely hard to understand and explain it in a way that made it click for someone. That lightbulb moment - watching someone's face when something complicated suddenly makes sense - that's what I was chasing. The lab didn't give me enough of those. Product does.

So I made the jump, and I haven't looked back.

Ten years in, I've built digital health and life sciences platforms for users who are experts in their fields and have zero patience for software that doesn't respect that. Research tools, clinical workflows, AI-powered automation - products where the domain complexity is the whole point, not a problem to route around.

What I love most about this work is the team. I genuinely believe that with the right cross-functional group, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts - and watching that happen, watching an engineer and a designer and a scientist and a clinician all bring their piece and have it come together into something none of them could have built alone, never gets old.

My approach: start with what's actually blocking the user, not what they're asking for. Build the smallest thing that removes it. Find out if it worked.

I also just build things.

Outside my day job I've shipped a beach driving conditions app for 4WD beach communities, built automation systems for a Reddit community of thousands, and maintained a tiny saltwater ecosystem on my desk. Same instinct every time: find a real problem, think it through, make something that works.

What I'm looking for:

A Senior or Principal PM role where the product is grounded in science - biotech, life sciences tooling, digital health, research platforms. Somewhere the domain complexity is the point, and shipping things that actually hold up for real scientists and clinicians is the bar.

Remote or DC/Baltimore area.
