About
About Sage
Professionally
I'm a Senior Product Manager. For the past decade I've worked on the platforms that run businesses — ERP, CRM, e-commerce — and shipped tools that cut manual work and made teams faster. I do both the strategy and the in-the-weeds work. AI has been part of how I build for a few years now.
Personally
Outside of work, I travel whenever I can, love staying active at the gym or out biking, and spend a lot of time with my wife and daughter — who at three years old is already asking better questions than most product stakeholders. I'm fascinated by how things work: everyday objects, new tech, how systems get designed. That curiosity follows me home. I'm always looking for ways to make things around the house run better.
What I'm Building
Product work doesn't stop at 5pm.
I find AI most interesting when it solves something real. These are the products I'm building.
AI keyword validator for local businesses — first built for a family friend's medical practice. Scrapes competitor sites, cross-references live Google Ads data, and generates a prioritized campaign kit.
Started as a personal challenge: how fast can you take a physical product and ship a digital version with AI? The answer — a browser-based soundboard with custom audio uploads, keyboard shortcuts, and cloud sync.
AI stock scanner for individual investors. Finds momentum signals and technical setups without the noise.
'Bolo' means 'to speak.' An iOS app for South Asian kids ages 3–5 to learn their home language through play, not pressure.
Experience
A decade of product. From strategy to shipped.
Principal Product Manager — Platforms & Operations
Led company-wide platform strategy across ERP, CRM, e-commerce, and internal tools. Owned roadmap and delivery end-to-end, reduced operating costs, and embedded AI into core business processes: LLMs, custom GPTs, and agentic workflows.
Senior Product Manager
Owned product delivery across B2B and direct channels. Reengineered order pipelines to automate over half of manual touchpoints, launched a 0-1 prepaid ordering system that scaled to 25+ enterprise accounts in year one, and built integrations between CRM and ERP platforms.
Product Manager
Ran product across CRM, e-commerce, and B2B systems. Led Salesforce Sales Cloud implementation, built custom bi-directional APIs, and launched a lead-generation microsite that grew inbound leads 25% in three months.
Jr. Product Manager · QA Lead · QA Engineer
Started in quality engineering and moved into product over time. Coming up through QA gave me a grounding in how systems actually work and how to build them right — something I still draw on.
Past Projects
Product by day. Brand by night.

BUILT BY [ new york ]
Custom apparel — designed, built, and shipped entirely alone.
I designed every piece — hoodies, hats, bags — worked with a factory in China to manufacture them, built the website, shot and edited all the photography, ran marketing, handled ops, and answered every customer service message. My basement became the fulfillment center. I packed and shipped every order myself.
I ran the brand for two years before other obligations made it impossible to keep going. People still reach out about the apparel. Maybe one day it comes back.
