AI Product Leader Who Turns Complex Ideas Into Products People Can Use
I lead product strategy and stay close to the work of building. I use AI throughout research, design, coding, and testing to turn ideas into working products faster. I created and launched Practisim Designer Web, a 3D planning product that works across browsers, mobile devices, AR, and VR.

Professional positioning
Big-picture product leadership with a builder’s mindset.
I help teams understand what customers need, choose the right product direction, and turn that direction into something real. AI now helps me move from idea to working product faster.
I find the real customer problem
I start with what is slowing people down, then shape a product that is useful, different, and realistic to build.
I can lead the plan and help build it
I move comfortably from customer research and strategy to design, testing, launch decisions, pricing, and adoption.
I make complex tools easier to use
My career has focused on helping developers and creators succeed with technology that can otherwise feel difficult or fragmented.
Featured work · Practisim Designer Web
A 3D planning product built around a real customer problem.
Founder · Product lead · Hands-on developer
Built with AI, guided by product judgment
I used AI throughout research, design, coding, testing, and problem-solving—while making the key product and business decisions myself.
Plan and preview stages in a browser
Designers can build a stage in 3D, view it from above, walk through it, create build instructions, and share the result.
One design across web, mobile, AR, and VR
The same stage can move from desktop planning to mobile review and immersive viewing without starting over.
Career highlights
Three product launches that shaped my career.
Each one took a difficult technology and made it useful to more people—from augmented reality and cloud infrastructure to robotics.
01
Magic Leap · 2022 — Present
OpenXR SDKs + Magic Leap Hub
Made it easier for developers to build and test AR products
The problem
Building for augmented reality can mean juggling different tools, device setup, app installation, testing, and platform-specific code.
What I led
I owned product strategy, roadmap, and launch work across Magic Leap’s OpenXR SDKs and Magic Leap Hub. Hub brought setup, software downloads, device management, app installation, capture, streaming, and troubleshooting into one desktop product.
Why it mattered
Developers gained a clearer starting point and a more standard way to build. OpenXR also made it easier for teams to create products that could work across more than one XR platform.
02
Skytap · 2018 — 2022
Skytap on Azure
Helped launch an industry-first path for IBM i workloads on Azure
The problem
Many large companies still depend on IBM i and other IBM Power systems. Moving those important applications to the cloud often looked too risky or required an expensive rewrite.
What I led
I led the product management team that brought AIX, IBM i, and Linux on IBM Power to Microsoft Azure and IBM Cloud. My work covered the product, pricing, packaging, licensing, and partner plan needed to bring it to market.
Why it mattered
Customers could move long-running business systems into the cloud with far fewer changes, then connect those systems to newer cloud services instead of replacing everything at once.
03
Microsoft · 2005 — 2012
Robotics Developer Studio 4
Brought Microsoft’s robotics platform to developers and educators
The problem
Robotics teams needed a more common way to build, test, and simulate software across very different types of robots and hardware.
What I led
I owned launch strategy for Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 4 through multiple beta releases. I connected the product team with hardware partners, educators, hobbyists, and commercial developers.
Why it mattered
The launch gave a broad developer community access to professional robotics and simulation tools, and helped partners show what could be built with the platform.

About
A product leader who knows how things get built.
I have spent more than 20 years turning new and complicated technology into useful products. My background includes developer tools, cloud software, mobile, robotics, AI, and spatial computing.
I’ve worked at Magic Leap, Skytap, Concur, Avalara, and Microsoft, and I build my own products through AncientSky Games. The common thread is simple: make difficult technology easier for people and businesses to use.
