Expert interviews and industry research

Product, platform and software experience for industry research.

I occasionally contribute to expert interviews, primary research, market studies and product or technology research when my experience is relevant to the questions being explored.

I am a Senior Product Manager with a software engineering background. My professional experience covers APIs, developer platforms, extensibility, integrations and composable commerce. My current work and applied experiments also inform narrower conversations about document workflows and emerging AI interaction models.

Relevant areas

Topics I can discuss and where the perspective comes from.

APIs & developer platforms

Across product roles at commercetools and PandaDoc, I have worked on developer-facing platforms where APIs, integrations and extensibility are product surfaces. Earlier software engineering work also shapes how I assess adoption, compatibility and platform evolution.

Document APIs & workflow automation

My current work includes APIs and integrations for document workflows and emerging AI interaction models. I can discuss the public product context and transferable principles, not confidential strategy, customers, metrics or roadmap.

AI agents & software workflows

My current work and applied experiments cover AI-assisted software development, agent-driven workflows and interfaces for people and software agents, including Model Context Protocol (MCP). The focus is product interfaces, APIs, professional workflows, reliability and human/agent boundaries.

Boundaries

Useful context without crossing confidentiality lines.

I can discuss public information, general industry practices, historical market context, professional experience I am permitted to share and transferable observations about product and software work.

I do not discuss confidential, proprietary or non-public information about current or former employers, customers, partners or competitors. I decline topics that conflict with my professional obligations.

Research formats

Ways I can contribute.

I take on these conversations selectively, when my experience fits the topic and the questions being explored.

Expert interviews
Primary research
Market and competitive landscape studies
Product and technology research
Surveys
Selected advisory conversations
