Director of Product Management with deep technical roots. Streaming DNA from DreamWorks and IGN through NBCUniversal and Peacock — every era of this industry, from tentpole streaming before broadband existed to live sports at Olympic scale.
Peacock’s Live Actions feature was already fully conceived — real-time clip saving, whiparound show navigation, watchlist integration during live events. The architecture was designed. The experience was designed. But the project was completely blocked.
No engineer on the team had bandwidth to build the integration UI into the existing real-time ad-marker-drop tool — the final piece that would connect the entire system end-to-end. Without it, the feature couldn’t ship. The Paris Olympics had a fixed deadline.
I stepped in, designed and built the integration UI myself, unblocked the project, and got it across the finish line. That’s not a Director delegating. That’s a Director who can become the team when the team needs one.
My manager nominated me for the Emmy because I wrote the code. The feature went live for the Paris Olympics in 2024. It ran at the Milan Winter Olympics in 2026. It’s been deployed for NBA playoffs and the 2026 World Cup. It’s still running. Still my work.
Live Actions is a direct blueprint for what any major live sports platform can do with real-time interactivity — and it’s the clearest signal of what I’d build next.
I’ve trained an AI to answer as me — career questions, strategic questions, the IGN story, what I’d build first at your company. It also tailors itself to wherever you’re hiring from. This is a product demo: it shows exactly how I think about AI-powered experiences.
