Product leader.
Fintech expert.
AI founder.

I'm a Senior PM with a track record of building complex 0-to-1 products in regulated, partner-driven environments. At Visa, I led Tap to Phone — a softPOS product that lets smartphones accept contactless payments without hardware — from early prototype to commercial launch in multiple global markets.

I hold a US patent for guiding users to the optimal contactless payment location on smartphones, and have deep expertise in payment security, SDK architecture, B2B partner integrations, and GTM strategy at scale.

Today I'm channeling that 0-to-1 energy into Drawn — an AI-powered social connection app I'm designing and building as founder. It's where my fintech discipline meets consumer product instinct and a deep conviction about what ethical AI companionship can look like.

Drawn
In Active Development · Targeting July 2027 iOS launch

An AI relationship companion for Millennials navigating friendship and romance in the digital age. Built on the belief that the loneliness epidemic isn't solved by giving people more people to swipe on — but by creating conditions for fewer, deeper, more genuine connections.

System and Method for Payment Terminal Optimization — a patent covering a system for guiding users to the optimal contactless payment location on smartphones, partitioning the device display and generating tap boundaries to optimize NFC payment acceptance without specialized hardware.

This work underpins Visa's softPOS strategy globally and reflects the kind of deep technical product thinking I bring to every platform I build on.
