Product leadership for data-heavy, high-stakes systems.

I'm Andrew. I lead product teams that modernize case management, intake, and data platforms. My roots run from SQL development and ETL pipelines to complex workflows, people management, and executive business cases.

// what I do

Where product strategy meets the data layer.

I move between hands-on work (analysis, testing, specs) and leading cross-functional teams and product strategy. That range lets me translate between engineers, compliance teams, and executives.

Product strategy and roadmaps

Discovery, roadmaps, business cases for funding, and buy vs. build decisions grounded in outcomes you can measure.

Data modeling and JSON Schema

Relational and semi-structured models, enterprise schema standardization, and data profiling.

Integrations and APIs

I focus on the data layer so end users see the right data at the right time, without ever thinking about the systems behind it.

ETL and data quality

Pipelines, workflows, migrations, and automated integrity testing across database platforms.

Rapid prototyping

Leveraging AI and low-code tooling to demo features while discovery is still underway.

Leading cross-functional teams

A framework-agnostic servant leader focused on getting to the right outcome and building great product teams.

// experience

A career built from the data up.

I started in roles as an analyst writing SQL and testing ETL pipelines, then grew into leading product teams. I can talk schema design with engineers and business cases with executives.

I am your product team leader, your business stakeholders’ first contact, and your TPM’s best friend.
