About Me

---

Hi there! I'm a Technical Product Manager with over 15 years of experience in software engineering and 8 years in product management. While I thoroughly enjoyed writing code, architecting solutions, and building products as an engineer, I discovered my true passion lies in understanding what needs to be built and, more importantly, why. For many years, I wore both the hats of an Engineering Lead and Product Manager. In recent years, I've fully transitioned to product management, though I still affectionately refer to myself as a "recovering" engineer because I still very much enjoy looking at code.

Throughout this journey, I've identified my product superpower: the ability to "see the forest and the trees." This enables me to seamlessly switch focus between crafting a product roadmap and strategy, and delving into the individual technical capabilities needed to execute that plan. I attribute much of my success to this dual perspective.

The transition from engineering to product management represented a significant shift in my career, and it has been a valuable learning experience. I've gained insights into how I can leverage both skill sets to create products that are user-friendly and drive results for the business, and I'm eager to share what I've learned. Through my blog, I aim to offer practical advice and perspectives to fellow engineering professionals navigating the dynamic world of product management.

On a personal note, I'm a proud father of two and a husband to a strong, successful wife. I enjoy the occasional dad joke and make references to 90's pop culture. I have a deep love for music and travel (most of the images on the site are from recent trips). Additionally, I indulge in semi-pro weekend co-ed recreational softball (yes, it's a thing... I promise).
