I'm a Technical Product Manager at Flexera, where for over two years I've owned the end-to-end lifecycle of $62M SaaS products including FlexNet Operations and InstallShield. My work lives in problem discovery and software monetization, optimizing licensing frameworks, running a multi-year roadmap across Engineering, QA, Support and Sales, and pulling AI into research workflows until market research went from 10 days to 6 hours. Across nine years spanning business analysis, program management and product, I've learned that most roadmap arguments are really discovery arguments wearing a disguise.
Work
Below are some of my recent projects. Please request for the complete walkthrough of the locked projects.
01
Database-Connected AI Chatbot
Built a chatbot in five stages, from a plain OpenAI call to a system that holds conversation memory, calls external tools and answers questions from a live database.
02
Podcast Search Engine and MCP Server
Built a semantic search engine over a large library of product and technology podcast transcripts, then wrapped it as an MCP server so an AI assistant could search the library, keep notes and run research briefs directly.
03
Personal AI Agent with Voice
Built an agent that searches and reads the web, remembers me between sessions, runs a job search from my resume, and answers the phone, with the chat and the voice line sharing one memory.
Thoughts & Ideas
Notes on problem discovery in enterprise software, what licensing and monetization actually teach you about pricing, and putting AI inside the product workflow rather than beside it.
Sprint Variance Was 60%. The Fix Wasn't Better Estimation.
Ten Days to Six Hours: Putting AI Inside the Workflow, Not Beside It
Problem Discovery Is the Whole Job, Everything Else Is Scheduling
Experience
Nine years across business analysis, program management and technical product management, from Power BI dashboards and internal web apps at ITC Infotech to owning $62M enterprise SaaS licensing products at Flexera.
Spend longer on the problem than the solution, and the roadmap argument settles itself.
Stack
The tools I use to run discovery, keep a multi-year enterprise roadmap honest across Engineering, QA, Support and Sales, and answer licensing and adoption questions without waiting on a report.
