Product Manager - Full Stack Product Builder

Experience

Currently the founder of Agora Grove, building AI agents that make running a local business as natural as having a conversation, starting with farms.

Previously a Product Management Intern at IBM zAIOps in San Jose, where I built AI-native applications for product and revenue teams.

Before that, I built AI business tools for Accel Construction.

Prior to tech, I ran live events for house music fans and supported global brands in strategy at Wasserman.

I’m studying Information Systems with a concentration in Data Science at the University of Florida. I will receive my degree in December 2026.
