I build B2B products in regulated environments — healthcare, fintech, complex systems where getting things right actually matters.
Over the past decade I've owned messy, high-stakes workflows at the intersection of technology, operations, and trust. I'm most useful when problems are ambiguous, priorities compete, and someone needs to help a team turn complexity into something concrete enough to ship.
Right now I'm focused on AgeTech — because the people on the other end of these products deserve tools that actually work for them. I built this tool to understand the landscape, think in public, and find the companies worth talking to.
A thought on AgeTech, a job lead, or just want to connect — I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks for reaching out. I'll get back to you soon.
A product manager's approach to using AI as a research tool — and why I built a job tracker instead of just using one.
After being let go from Credit Acceptance, I knew I wanted to move into a space where the mission actually mattered to me. AgeTech kept coming up — I've watched family members struggle to navigate healthcare, housing, and financial systems as they age, and I kept finding myself drawn to companies trying to fix that.
The problem: the AgeTech landscape is massive and scattered. Hundreds of companies, wildly different stages, some well-funded and scaling, others still in PowerPoint mode. I needed a way to cut through the noise systematically — not just a list of company names, but a framework for deciding which ones were actually worth my time.
I developed three filters to quickly assess whether a company was worth pursuing for a Director/Head of Product role:
Does the company have an actual product in market — not just a website and a pitch deck? And have they raised enough ($20M+, Series A or higher) to have real runway, organizational structure, and budget for product leadership?
How clearly and consistently does the company articulate its mission? I look at how they describe themselves, how employees talk about the work on Glassdoor, and whether their product decisions reflect what they say they're building for. This isn't a judgment — it's a signal about alignment.
50–300 employees is the sweet spot for a Director-level product role. Small enough that you have real influence over culture and direction. Large enough that there's a product function, a team to lead, and enough organizational structure that you're not rebuilding everything from scratch.
Honestly, I started with a spreadsheet. But I kept hitting the same wall: job postings are scattered across dozens of different career pages, each formatted differently, updated inconsistently. The data was always stale by the time I got to it.
I realized what I actually needed was something that could pull live job data on demand — and since I was already using Claude to help with my search strategy, it made sense to wire the two together. The result is a hybrid: curated company evaluations that I maintain, combined with AI-powered job fetching that pulls current openings when you need them.
Building it also gave me something to show — not just a job seeker looking for a product role, but a product thinker who shipped something.
The app is a single HTML file for the frontend, with a serverless backend function hosted on Vercel. When you click "Fetch live jobs," your browser calls my backend — which holds the API key securely and makes the actual call to Anthropic's Claude API. The key never touches your browser.
The framework works. Running 50+ companies through three filters very quickly surfaces a shortlist of 15–20 genuinely compelling targets. It also surfaces the companies that look good on the surface but have mixed signals on mission or are too early-stage to have a real product leadership role.
The other thing I learned: direct outreach beats passive applications by a wide margin. The framework gives me something concrete to reference when I reach out to founders and product leaders — it shows I've done the work, not just sent a resume into a black hole.
If you're building in the AgeTech space — or know someone who is — I'd love to connect.
