About

Operations/engineering leader from Poly who optimized a professional headset portfolio by aggressively prioritizing technical debt and consolidating HW/SW platforms (down to 2 each), accelerating time-to-market by ~6 months and enabling 3–6 month variant cycles. Also drove AI-enabled quality improvements by leveraging JIRA bug data to automate test case creation and expand coverage, while aligning engineering and product management around MVO delivery.
