I'm a product manager, music producer, and father of twins. I've designed, tested, and maintained enterprise level e-commerce solutions for 20 of the top 100 brands in the world.
I enjoy exploring intersections of technology with creativity. My creative outlet is producing hybrid orchestral and underscore music, heard daily on TV shows around the world.
As a CSPO, I led the AI and Machine Learning teams at Digital River. Our team recovered $7M+ in revenue during 2024. We transacted $3B+ annually and processed 5TB of transaction data through 231 machine learning models daily. We built LLM-based natural language products 0-1. One product I managed earned $5M within 3 months from inception.
Prior to that I was the Prinicipal Technical Operations Manager and Enterprise Commerce Support Team Lead. And Recently I was a Senior Product Manager at Reach, building e-commerce and tax compliance solutions for global brands like NFL+ and Signet Jewelers.
I was in Quality Assurance for 12 years, and helped win the Microsoftstore.com account at Digital River. Before that I was a QA Engineer and team lead at MakeMusic, helping deliver the SmartMusic practice system to over 250k U.S. Schools.

As Soundbed, I compose a variety of music for film, TV, custom ads, and streaming. The show with the most music of mine is MTV's The Challenge. I also co-own MEMESounds, a deep house record label.
My YouTube channel shares helpful videos for composers.
On Github, my most recent project is the TimeBender, a Native Instruments KSP multiscript that adjusts the timing of MIDI before it reaches a Kontakt instrument, but after the notes have been positioned in a DAW. Check out my repos on GitHub. I've got a Podcast Linkmaker; a tool to translate MIDI CC values to HUI for use in Pro Tools on a Mac; the TimeBender, a Kontakt KSP script for real-time MIDI timing manipulation using pitch bend control, and more utilities, a transcription tool, and games! I'm also working on an ASCAP Royalty analyzer and a Cinematic Studios Timing Compensator.
I've also been dabbling with non-fiction. I wrote a book under a pseudonym called How To Raise A Genius At The Dinner Table: Math Games & Word Riddles for Parents of Kids 5-9 one weekend, on my experiences playing math games and word riddles with my kids.
