Building products that move the metric.

I'm Patrick — a strategic, user-focused product manager with full-stack design and engineering fluency. Proven across 0→1 and enterprise builds in B2B SaaS, AI-enabled platforms, and healthcare, I bridge business, design, and engineering to ship products that work for users and the business — and I care more about the metric after ship than the deck before it.

I started in computer graphics, got pulled into the messy human side of software, and never looked back. The throughline is bridging business, design, and engineering — sit with users, frame the problem, ship the fix, watch the metric move. Surgeons, factory floors, shelters: different problem, same craft.

ShiftForge — the labor operations layer between staffing agencies and the plant floor

Staffing tools win on billing; manufacturing WFM tools win on coverage. Neither does both — and hybrid buyers pay the seam in 6+ hours of weekly reconciliation. ShiftForge is the orchestration layer: a shared data model, two purpose-built consoles, and an AI agent fabric that moves work forward between human approval checkpoints. Agents propose; humans decide.

Looking for someone who'll own the outcome? I'm your guy.

I'm most interested in AI products that do real work for real people. If you've got an ambiguous problem and want someone to run discovery, frame the bet, and ship the thing — let's talk shop.
