I'm a product manager obsessed with advocating for customers and building with AI. I spent 2.5 years at CarMax leading the product for an AI-powered damage detection system that used computer vision and IoT to classify vehicle damage in real time. Last summer I was a Senior Technical PM Intern at AWS on the External Services tier — the most technical of Amazon's three PM tracks — where I authored a PRFAQ for a new feature on Secrets Manager.
Before PM, I was an investment banking analyst covering software M&A at Layer 7 Capital, and an enterprise sales AE at Oracle. I'm graduating from Harvard Business School in May 2026. For undergrad, I went to Cornell University.

Founded an independent PM education series at HBS after the school's PM course was canceled, consistently drawing ~100 registrants per session. Each session features an industry guest who co-teaches alongside me, covering AI product development, rapid prototyping, and core PM fundamentals. Videos available below.
