Every block builds on the last.
Scroll through twelve years — each chapter seals into the next, the way the work actually happened.
The foundation: nine years inside the machine
It starts in Seattle, inside a university's entire technology estate. Nine years as Technical Product Manager & Senior Systems Engineer — diagramming infrastructure until the inefficiencies had nowhere to hide. That diagramming became a one-year, $2.8M modernization program coordinating three vendors — Sabey, Cisco, and Juniper — five teams, and ten network products, with hardware procured straight through the first U.S.–China tariff war's delays and price shocks. Then the cloud: a directed migration to Azure with hybrid connectivity and redundant failover, $125K cut from annual costs — half the department's spend — and 80% off every infrastructure project through automation.
The sharpening: two fellowships, one year
2021 was deliberate sharpening. Selected for Google Cloud's 12-week Cloud Career Jump Start fellowship — hands-on GCP with Google's own engineers, aligned to the Associate Cloud Engineer curriculum. And in the same season, chosen as one of fifty nationally for the University of Washington's Inclusive Product Management fellowship, where selection turned into a coaching seat. Infrastructure depth on one hand, product craft on the other — the two tracks this whole story braids together.
The proving ground: Bloomberg scale
Then the biggest stage in financial information. Senior Technical Product Manager owning 20+ digital properties and over 1,000 pages serving more than a million monthly users across Bloomberg's Law, Tax, and Government verticals. Over 200 features shipped through distributed teams across time zones — and a 100% pass rate across six GDPR/CCPA audits, because compliance was built into the product rather than inspected at the end.
The leap: Kampala, a grant from Jack Dorsey
Then the leap founders talk about. Co-founding the Bitcoin Innovation Hub in Kampala, Uganda — a financial-inclusion firm backed by a three-year, $300K grant from Jack Dorsey's #startsmall — run remotely from New York. The flagship: a Bitcoinized inventory and settlement product on BTCPayServer that cut transaction fees by more than 90%, putting modern asset management within reach of small businesses and refugee communities the traditional rails had priced out.
Now: BTechs, and the map of a global movement
Which brings the story to now. BTechs — a New York charitable nonprofit building resilient, self-sovereign digital and financial infrastructure, and teaching security- and privacy-focused, equitable AI/ML on Google Cloud. Its flagship is the DCI Global Research Map: the public platform charting MIT DCI's worldwide Bitcoin research network, owned as Product Owner and Technical Lead from concept through production — PostgreSQL/Supabase, Vercel, GitHub CI/CD. The founder chapter isn't a detour from the enterprise track record. It's what that track record was for.
The next block is unwritten.
