Experience
Product Manager III, Personalization & Recommendations
- Own Trip Completion recommendations, since August 2026, for travelers who have already booked lodging: things to do, and other parts of the trip.
- Work with engineering, design, data science, and analytics on what to show, how to rank it, and how to judge whether it helped.
- Asked to look past a single recommendation module at the rest of the trip.
Senior Product Manager Intern
- Defined positioning and GTM strategy for Developer Sandboxes, AI-ready automated environments for app development, creating discovery and overview assets that reduced onboarding friction and clarified product value in automation and AI provisioning.
- Built a globally adopted enablement hub that consolidated pricing, demos, FAQs, and technical documentation for Developer Sandboxes, increasing asset discoverability and giving sales a single source of truth for positioning, objections, and use-case fit.
Technical Product Manager
- Led end-to-end development and launch of developer-facing connectors and APIs for Kafka, PostgreSQL, and Azure Data Explorer, partnering with engineering from PRD through release.
- Grew adoption to 150 enterprise customers and 30% usage growth in eight months by using product telemetry, customer feedback, and growth metrics to prioritize roadmap investments.
- Prioritized and scoped capabilities including managed identities, private endpoint connections, and role-based access control (RBAC) to address enterprise security and connectivity requirements.
- Drove GTM and post-launch customer success for Azure Stream Analytics, coordinating sales, marketing, and engineering to accelerate adoption, resolve high-severity issues, and improve retention.
Software Engineer
- Built test automation frameworks, scripts, and data dashboards for MacBook QA, scaling device coverage from 1 to 5 configurations and improving defect resolution visibility during the Apple Silicon transition.
- Ran bug tracking and release operations across MacBook Air, Pro, and Mini during the Apple Silicon transition, and worked with Engineering Program Managers on fixes and release readiness.
Software Engineering Intern
- Developed automated reliability testing for macOS and iOS, contributing to the adoption of CloudKit over Core Data and a 20% performance improvement.
- Worked with Apple engineers on ad-hoc and regression testing, improving data integrity and bug isolation.
