How I Think About Product
Product breakdowns, frameworks, and how real products actually get built. No PM playbook orthodoxy - just how I actually think about it.
The PM Toolkit
Product Sense
Understanding users well enough to know what they need before they ask. The foundation of every good product decision - and the hardest part to get right.
Analytical Rigor
Metrics that actually tell you something, experiment design, and prioritization that holds up to scrutiny. Moving past vanity metrics to understanding what's causing what.
Execution
Shipping in regulated environments where "move fast and break things" isn't an option. Roadmaps, trade-offs, and getting stakeholders to actually agree on something.
