I'm Jack, an engineer by training, a product manager for APIs, integrations, and data products by trade, and surfer & wannabe pizzaiolo outside of work.
I’ve spent my career building products at 0-1 and at scale. I'm at my best when I'm bringing clarity to complex systems: from being the first product hire at Terrafuse, a wildfire risk data startup that exited, to untangling internationalization, churn and API integrations at Flodesk, to federal enterprise systems at Accenture.
Current challenge: helping small business owners around the world live out their dream by connecting the tools they already use.
I care about building things that hold up under pressure, the kind of systems people actually depend on, where getting it right really matters. A lot of that comes from my time working in climate and resilience, and it's still how I think about most problems. I also care a lot about the people I work with. I've been lucky to be around some really talented, kind folks, and I think good work comes from good teams more than anything else.
Most of my work has been in spaces where the domain runs deep: wildfire risk modeling, federal permitting, data privacy law, AI. I learn enough to earn trust from the experts, then turn that into something that ships and moves the business. I love going from "nobody knows how to do this yet" to "here's the plan, here's why, let's go," and I've seen it pay off, from a startup's first recurring revenue to opening up new international markets.
I listen first, map the system, and get to clarity before I push for momentum. I bring structure when things are messy and follow through when things get hard. I lead through documentation, data, and persistence more than volume. Right now I'm focused on sharper data storytelling and running faster, scrappier experiments.
