Editorial work
Things I've written about
I write about the messy, real side of project management, AI adoption, leadership, startups, and what actually happens when you try to deliver complex work in cross-functional teams all over the world.
No LLMs were harmed in the making of these articles. The topics, errors and opinions are 100% mine (brain-first, always). That said, Claude and ChatGPT earned a co-producer credit for keeping me sharp, challenging my drafts, and helping me ship this page without touching a single line of code.

Most PMs are watching AI from the sideline, waiting to see what it does to their job. I wrote this for the ones who'd rather shape what comes next.
Your reputation is the career investment that never stops paying
Spoiler: it's not your skills. It's whether people trust you to show up the same way every single time — especially when no one's watching.
I tanked a startup
Yes, really. Here's what went wrong, what I missed, and why I'd still call it the best PM lesson I ever got — even if it stung quite a bit.

The hype says yes. The reality is a lot more interesting. I dug into what AI actually changes about team dynamics — and what it definitely doesn't.
Context switching and mental elasticity
Every time someone pings you mid-deep-work, your brain pays a tax. This one's about learning how to stop bleeding focus — and charge interest instead.
Embracing chaos in project management
Control is a myth. The PMs who actually thrive aren't the ones who eliminate chaos — they're the ones who learned to surf it without wiping out.
Scope creep: the unexpected project detour
It starts with "just one small change." It ends with a six-week delay and a very uncomfortable retro. If this sounds familiar, this one's for you.
