Curiosity-driven.
Execution-focused.

I'm a Sr. Product Associate at JP Morgan Chase focusing on Credit Card Pricing. Over 7+ years, I've shipped products that touched millions of cardholders — from the Chase Sapphire refresh and Amazon co-brand card to mainframe-to-cloud migrations that saved $750K in operating costs.

My background bridges Computer Science, Business Analytics, and Human Centered Interaction Design — letting me hold conversations equally well with engineers, designers, and C-suite stakeholders.

Outside fintech, I'm an AI & Robotics investor, a personal finance writer, and a photographer who finds stories in unexpected places. I believe the best products start with genuine human empathy and end with measurable business impact.
