The Intersection of
Data, AI & Revenue

I'm a Staff-level Analytics and AI Product leader who builds systems that compound — experimentation infrastructure that runs itself, AI agents that replace manual analysis, and monetisation models that find revenue others miss.

At Life360, I own the AI analytics product roadmap end-to-end: from writing specs to shipping with the AI engineering team. The AI experimentation system I'm building compresses decision cycles from 2 weeks to 2 days, freeing 25 analyst-hours per experiment across a 600–700 experiment/year programme.

I'm also an independent builder. GradNomad is my AI-powered writing assistant for graduate school applicants — designed, coded, and shipped solo.
