Executive product leader specializing in AI-native products and EdTech platforms

Dearborn Heights, MI16y exp

“Product leader and founder with experience spanning EdTech, AI, LegalTech, and mobile imaging. He co-founded a tutoring platform that grew to 300K+ students and later built citation-grounded legal AI systems designed for high-trust, high-stakes workflows. Particularly compelling is his consistent philosophy of using AI to amplify human expertise rather than replace it, backed by global team leadership and strong product execution across EMEA, the US, and Asia.”

“Engineering-focused designer who has led end-to-end design of an aerodynamic gas turbine exhaust diffuser/fairing system, working across aerodynamics, thermal, manufacturing, test, and operations. Known for improving decision-making speed and alignment by standardizing CFD/performance visualizations and restructuring complex validation workflows into more intuitive, data-readable experiences, incorporating field/inspection feedback to improve maintainability.”

“Unity/C# VR developer who shipped core UX infrastructure (a reusable Toast Manager) used for state-change/error/CTA notifications, designed to be easily consumed by other engineers via a one-line API. Has shipped on Meta Quest (Adobe Substance 3D Reviewer) and built cross-platform controller mappings with Unity Input Actions, emphasizing event-driven performance and profiling. Worked alongside a Photon networking lead to integrate gameplay/UI systems with multiplayer synchronization patterns (ghost players/drift correction).”

“Backend engineer focused on Node.js (Express/Fastify) and MongoDB who designed a multi-stage bill-approval workflow system for a manufacturing company, emphasizing RBAC, auditability, and scalability across multiple factory units. Also improved system robustness by catching a MongoDB connection leak in an Excise department project and has experience executing low-risk, incremental backend refactors with monitoring and rollback.”

“Backend/web API engineer with hands-on experience deploying .NET Core APIs to Azure App Service and stabilizing production systems through disciplined log-driven troubleshooting, environment configuration management, and SQL performance tuning (execution plans, query rewrites, indexing). Has also debugged cross-layer incidents involving DB locks and network latency, and modifies Python/XML automation scripts to meet customer-specific requirements while improving logging and performance.”

“Product designer/hardware prototyper building Saccade (VR headset attachment for Apple Vision Pro) to enable earlier, lower-cost Alzheimer's detection via eye-tracking and on-device CV/ML; designed a custom biocompatible snap-on light-shield replacement with integrated cameras/PCB after Apple camera-data restrictions. Also has biomedical manufacturing experience (major fixture-driven throughput gains) and leads a 160-member Assistive Technology Club sponsored by Apple and Google.”
