Hey - I'm Blake! I'm a seasoned technical product leader with 10+ years building AI-powered data products and B2B SaaS platforms. I was previously the first analytics hire at Roboflow (Vision AI), co-founder at Shipyard (data orchestration), and Head of Data Products at PMG Advertising Agency. My experience spans early-stage IC work to building a department of 12.

I'm looking for technical PM roles at mission-driven companies, ideally smaller orgs, where I can build from the ground up. I prefer a ~70/30 leader/IC split with a focus on AI and data-adjacent work. I'm open to any industry except advertising, gambling, crypto, and defense.

I'm a seasoned technical product leader with 10+ years experience building data-intensive products and B2B SaaS platforms that drive adoption and scale.

I was previously the first product analytics hire at a Vision AI startup, Roboflow. Before that, I co-founded a B2B data operations tool, Shipyard. Earlier in my career, I was the Head of Data Products at PMG Advertising Agency where I built the team from the ground up. With a wide array of experience across Product, Data, and AI, I've led teams of up to 12 and have also been in the weeds as a department of one.

It's most important for me to work for a mission-driven company that wants to scale with bold and innovative approaches. I want to sink my teeth into tough problems, learn new things, and work with interesting and curious people.

I'm primarily looking for technical product roles. I enjoy ideating solutions, building MVPs, experimentation, and orchestrating all of the work to achieve a strategic vision. I prefer a roughly 70/30 split between leader/IC. I prefer smaller organizations with the ability to build something from the ground up. Despite my background, I'd like to avoid working in the advertising space.

I really enjoyed sanity.io a year ago. It had the best data structure flexibility by a mile, with the ability to have multiple user draft states and merge conflict resolution.

Other Headless CMS felt restrictive, with shared drafts or the requirement for all published items to have changes go live instantly.

Once you're set up with your schema, the UI is easy enough for non-developers (and you can customize it for them if needed).

Thanks for bringing that to my attention! The issue should be resolved.

That's what I get for being determined to design my own resume in Figma. I have a text only version as well, but I hate the idea of not having something crafted.

I'm a self-taught technologist and seasoned leader with 10+ years experience building high-performance teams focused on automation, analytics, and data-driven results. I excel at strategy, process improvement, and effective experimentation. I was previously co-founder of a DataOps tool, Shipyard, and before that I was the Head of Data at PMG Digital Agency.

It's most important for me to work for a mission-driven company that wants to scale with bold and innovative approaches. I want to sink my teeth into tough problems and learn new things.

I'll do my best work focused on data, AI, product, or operations. I can seamlessly adapt between IC or management roles. Smaller organizations with the ability to build something from the ground up is a big plus. Despite my background, I'd like to avoid working in the advertising space.
