Now

Learning about managing personal finances seriously, not casually reading about it, but building an actual system. Started with My Conversations with Money; if you're just starting, start there.

As Senior PM on PayPal's growth team, sharpening a few things right now:

• Storytelling — working through the Minto Pyramid Principle for strategy docs: lead with the conclusion, back it with evidence, close with "why now." Still catching myself writing evidence-first and having to restructure.
• Systems thinking — mapping the onboarding → activation flow end-to-end: time to activation, activation rate, and how both roll up into transaction margin, instead of optimizing any one step in isolation.
• P&L ownership — tying specific initiatives on the revenue and margin side directly to customer outcomes, rather than treating "the number" and "the user experience" as two separate conversations.
• AI-native workflows — rebuilding how I do competitive analysis, code analysis, and leadership updates using Claude Cowork, to see what's actually faster versus what just feels faster.

Rebuilding strength from scratch.

• Working on consistent protein intake rather than sporadic.
• Get my first strict pull-up
  • Currently working with resistance bands
  • Targeting 3 reps by end of 2026
