- Scaled and significantly upgraded OnMyWay (OMW), an internal geospatial field-workflow platform used daily by field crews and supervisors. Ran field-side discovery to learn how internal users actually work, then reworked the codebase and shipped functionality to match: PWAs from a single monorepo with Capacitor on iPad, bi-directional automation with the central work-order system (CGI), SAP Fiori integration so field submissions create finance-ready records without re-keying, plus NLP on unstructured work-order text and on-device ML capture (OCR, barcode) tuned for real field conditions.
- Drove $10M+ in lifecycle savings by scaling that internal workflow system across operations territories, cutting average work-close time from 77 days to 1.5 days while keeping audit-ready evidence trails intact.
- Launched MOD, a 0-to-1 internal mobile outage-dispatch platform enabling field crews to restore power to critical infrastructure during major weather events, reducing emergency response times and improving coordination across dispatch and supervisors.
- Lead product for automated remote connect/disconnect (RCD) on a 4M+ meter program, owning the internal operational tooling and systems integration (CSS, MDMS, AMI head-end, Salesforce) that lets operations teams execute connect/disconnect at scale across move-in/move-out, kill-switch, emergency, and credit-and-collections scenarios for residential and commercial customers.
- Build investment cases and roadmaps from qualitative and quantitative analysis: authored business cases for new operational capabilities and own an epic prioritization framework spanning 250+ items, sequencing delivery against value, risk, and dependency.
- Build AI prototypes and use AI to draft requirements as core workflow: working concepts over slideware, pressure-tested specs, and defined prompt patterns, evaluation rubrics, and staged rollout paths so teams move pilot-to-production without skipping rigor. Equipped product teams across the org with the same workflow to multiply output quality and velocity.
- Manage and coach a team of 6 product managers across multiple initiatives, owning delivery oversight, discovery standards, and cross-initiative prioritization.
- Partner closely with legal, cybersecurity, and compliance stakeholders to navigate multi-state electric and gas regulatory requirements, holding defensible audit trails without sacrificing delivery velocity.
