Why I'm writing in public again

I spent the better part of two decades building products inside companies where the most interesting decisions never left the room. Roadmaps, postmortems, the messy middle of a launch — all locked behind a VPN.

That's about to change.

What you'll find here

Short, honest notes on the things I actually do every week:

• How I frame ambiguous problems before writing a single requirement
• What it really takes to ship identity products that people don't notice
• Career notes from going engineer → PM → product leader

Why now

I was laid off from Intuit this month. Instead of treating that as a pause, I'm treating it as a prompt: write more, share more, talk to more builders.

If any of this is useful to you — or if you're hiring a product leader who has lived inside identity, access, and security for almost two decades — say hi.
