The work

What each project was, and what I was responsible for.

4.1

Loyalty Merchant Rewards

Merchant loyalty platform · 2026 · Lead Product & Development Consultant
  • A loyalty program for small merchants, sold through independent agents and POS partners. The redemption portal existed; what didn't was a way for the channel to administer the program without going through LMR staff. I built that — enrollment, points, billing, and the partner API the growth strategy depends on.
  • Fixed price, six milestones, each with written acceptance criteria.

Virtual patients

GigXR · 2021–present · SVP Product Development
  • Simulated patients for clinical training: volumetric capture in place of standardized patient actors, multi-branch scenarios that respond to intervention, and most recently natural-language conversation.
  • The hard part throughout is fidelity. A patient who presents subtly wrong teaches the wrong pattern.

4.3

GigXR Credits Service

GigXR · 2024 · SVP Product Development
  • Usage metering and billing for AI features, built 0-to-1 and deployed to production on AWS.
  • The interesting problem was never the infrastructure. It was finding a unit an institution could budget for in advance and audit afterwards.

4.4

Persim

Personal project · 2025
  • A prompt authoring and evaluation platform. Personas are authored against a grounded knowledge base, then tested across thousands of parallel conversations and multiple models to surface drift no single transcript reveals.
  • Built for my own work. GigXR used it on real patient scenarios. In private beta at persim.app.

GigXR product strategy

GigXR · 2021–present · SVP Product Development
  • Multi-year strategy across HoloScenarios, HoloPatient, and HoloHuman+, spanning mobile, web, and XR.
  • Cross-functional teams of 10+ through the full product lifecycle. AI-assisted workflow changes cut delivery time by about 40%.
4.6

HomePeak

Real estate platform · 2014–2021 · CTO, then CEO
  • B2C and B2B real estate platform: 300,000+ agents, 1.5M+ daily listings.
  • Distributed product and engineering teams. Support costs down 67%, 10% month-over-month subscriber growth.
4.7

SureSale

Certified pre-owned vehicle marketplace · 2009–2013 · Chief Product Officer
  • First fully online certified pre-owned vehicle marketplace.
  • Built the certification and inspection standard with legal and compliance, plus the pricing models. Partnerships with AutoTrader, Carfax, Kelley Blue Book, Cars.com, SGS Automotive.
4.8

Yahoo!

Community Platforms & International · 1998–2007 · Product Manager
  • Chat, Message Boards, and Photos during the period of fastest growth and heaviest regulatory attention.
  • Led Yahoo's first platform-wide child protection tooling, across 20+ countries.
