My journey from the structured world of product management to the fluid lines of software development has been filled with lessons learned and challenges met. It's a path that has shaped me into not just a developer, but a visionary capable of seeing beyond the code—to the very heart of what makes a product successful.

Picture this: a bustling startup, Deliverr Inc., navigating the complex world of logistics and e-commerce. There, I stepped into the shoes of a Product Manager II, a role that was both a challenge and a thrill from June 2019 to October 2023. In this arena, I championed a label-less inbounding program, cutting through the red tape to simplify shipping for our clients and boosting inbound volume by 30%. Leading agile teams, I was the maestro behind the curtain, orchestrating innovations that sang harmonies of efficiency and satisfaction.

But my story didn't start there. Rewind to June 2014, in the heart of Chicago with Coyote Logistics. As an Operations Team Lead, I was the guardian of over 20 customer accounts, overseeing a symphony of 75,000 annual loads. Here, I played a pivotal role in a logistical ballet, repositioning 30,000 leased assets for UPS's peak season with the finesse of a chess grandmaster, ensuring every piece was exactly where it needed to be.
