Hi! I’m Mike. As a Leader in Product and Engineering for almost 15 years, I bring a wealth of experience in driving strategic product development, leveraging cutting-edge cloud technologies, and driving product innovation through AI and robust data analysis.
My technical skill set spans a broad array of languages and tools, including SQL, C#, PHP, Python, and Unity3D.
This skill set is further enriched by proficiency in Agile methodologies like Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe, and supported by practical know-how in tools such as TFS, JIRA, Figma, Photoshop. Oh, and what sort of technology leader would I be without having experience in flowchart tools such as Visio, Miro, etc?
Certifications from leading institutions underline my commitment to continuous learning and expertise: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals from Microsoft, Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO), Professional Scrum Master (PSM) from Scrum.org, and SAFe Scrum Master (SSM) from Scaled Agile Inc., each reflecting a cornerstone in my professional development.
My role as Principal Product Manager at Assurant has been pivotal in elevating our brand to new heights through strategic product launches tailored to market demands. A hallmark of my tenure has been the seamless onboarding of marquee clients, including industry giants like Lowe’s, T-Mobile, Samsung, Harvey Norman, and Fred Meyer Jewelers. My efforts in automating the partner onboarding process and revamping our digital services for auto policies have resulted in significant operational efficiencies, dramatically reducing expenses and enhancing our customer service experience. These improvements have not only driven down call center costs but have also accelerated our products’ journey to the market, reinforcing our commitment to excellence and fortifying our relationships with these top-tier clients.
At Satcom Direct, my leadership in developing the SD Crew mobile app and constructing a comprehensive Data Strategy plan set new benchmarks in secure data governance and opened up new integration capabilities.
At Equifax I spearheaded API-driven solutions that radically improved client onboarding efficiency and data verification processes, directly contributing to significant revenue growth and project acclaim.
Starting my product management journey with S&P Global Market Intelligence I led the charge in developing financial business intelligence tools, always maintaining a close ear to client feedback and prioritizing the relationship-building that’s critical to successful product management.
Across my career, leading and collaborating with cross-functional teams, I have been instrumental in delivering over a hundred key initiatives that align with organizational goals and consistently deliver enhanced value to customers and stakeholders alike.
