I learned how the country’s largest retailer makes a decision: on whatever reaches the buyer’s desk. So I read the data for what mattered, built the weekly reporting and assortment tool around it, and used both to make our case for the shelf.

Claude

In Claude Code I build the agent workflows our team runs on.

MCP

I’m the PM on our MCP server. Our engineers build it.

GitHub

My first repo went up in June 2026. Everything lives here now.

Lovable

My first web apps, and a product our clients run on today.

OpenAI (ChatGPT, Codex)

ChatGPT in 2023. Today Codex runs beside Claude Code.

Python

Never written by hand. I build with it through AI, which is the point.

Cursor

Where I ship PRs.

Swift

I built an iOS app overnight, then published the skill.

Tableau

I taught myself, then built tools whose usage grew more than 30x.

Microsoft (Excel, PowerPoint, Power BI)

Excel and PowerPoint: where it started, and the first thing I taught.

Figma

Where I lay a design out before it becomes code.

ElevenLabs

My cloned voice, plus the images and video for our demos.

The first time I replaced my own work with something others could run. I taught myself Tableau, turned shopper data into self-serve tools, and showed teams where to place their bets. Usage grew more than 30x in 18 months.

I learned to hear what people mean, then tell it so a room acts on it. I led consumer research and education for Pepsi and Mountain Dew, turned what shoppers said into stories sales and marketing could use, and one partnership became an exclusive flavor.

My first time inside AI that makes real decisions. I owned client relationships, learned the models well enough to shape the solution for each one, and turned hand-written rules into repeatable logic, doubling the scenarios we could run.

I learned that nobody buys AI from a slide. They buy when it solves their problem in front of them. I built the demos and storylines sales ran on, shaped how we described the product, and brought what customers said back to the team.

I joined in the seat closest to the customer. I grew the accounts, shaped answers to the problems I kept hearing, and turned those patterns into four new offerings with the product team.

The year I stopped waiting for someone else to build it. I started the product insights function, taught myself SQL, BigQuery and Lovable to prototype my own ideas, and owned the Insights Agent from concept to client use with product and R&D.

I stopped building tools and started building the system that builds them. I designed the agent workflows and skills library our go-to-market team runs on, owned two products from idea to launch, and shaped how we take them to market. Weeks of work, sequenced into seconds.

Every job on this list shows up in this one. I lead product across our insights platform and solutions engineering, and I still build with customers on their own data and design the systems, agents and interfaces myself. The best way I know to lead builders is to stay one.
