I build and ship integrations for a living. I own the platform integrations portfolio at Practifi — the Salesforce-native CRM for financial advisors — connecting our clients to the broader wealth-management technology ecosystem. Before product, I spent fifteen years as a developer and consultant, which is why I can still read the Apex, write the SOQL, and debug the OAuth flow myself.
My career is the career of someone who couldn't stay in one lane. I graduated from the Art Institutes in 2011 with a web design degree and went straight to an agency floor, writing HTML and CSS for the Target.com relaunch. Three years at Thomson Reuters, a contract at Ameriprise, a full-stack bootcamp at Prime Digital, a stint at Digital River — and somewhere in there I picked up Salesforce.
That's what shifted things. Working on nCino at U.S. Bank meant sitting next to product managers and actually seeing what the job was: translate messy reality into a roadmap, keep engineering unblocked, keep clients calm. I got good at it by being the person who could have both conversations — the one with the architect and the one with the VP. Two years at West Monroe sharpened the consulting side; three years at Practifi moved me from BA to growth consultant to platform engineer to PM.
On the side, I built ChoreStar — a gamified chore-tracking SaaS for families — as a solo founder using LLM-assisted workflows with Claude, Codex, Cursor, and large language models across research, product thinking, development, and iteration. 110+ users, including paying subscribers, real retention data, a Product Hunt launch, and a product I actually use with my own kids.
Outcome-oriented roadmaps for enterprise SaaS — the kind that hold up in front of both the engineering team and the C-suite.
Designing how platforms talk to each other — authentication, data models, partner-ready environments, the lifecycle from intake to sign-off.
Tracking partner roadmaps, aligning release timelines, and keeping delivery approaches consistent across a portfolio of integrations.
Growth experiments, usage analytics, and retention data — picking the next bet based on what the numbers actually say.
A selection of the things I'm proud of — side projects that pay rent, Salesforce implementations that changed how banks lend, and the websites that trained me to ship.
