Professional profileDirector of Product
Director of Product across storage and GPU systems.
I set strategic product direction and work between customer needs, commercial priorities, engineering decisions and the behaviour of the system itself.
Profile
I act as the interface between the people defining the need and the people building and operating the system.
My role is to set direction for products based around storage and GPUs. I question specifications and headline benchmarks when the workload, failure behaviour or operational cost could change the choice. The aim is not to turn product management into engineering; it is to make sure the product decision reflects what the system can actually deliver.
Public evidence of the approach
Strix Halo and local AI
Hardware baselines, runtime comparisons, model checks, long sessions and machine-readable results that keep compatibility, performance and stability separate.
Storage systems
Practical work across NVMe, NVMe-oF, SPDK, RDMA, RoCE and S3, with versions, prerequisites, data-loss boundaries and verification steps.
