Experience

1. Principal Product Manager

   CarMax

   Mar 2025 — Present

   I lead CarMax\'s effort to turn search results into business results: to facilitate customers\' journey from broad exploration (eg -\'good family sedans\') to focused matchmaking (eg -\'blue Civics under 20k near me\') and every variation between.This juxtaposition of search algorithm, helpful content, semantic matching, vehicle recommendations, budgeting tools, and helpful experience ensures we answer the questions customers ask, both internally (site search) and externally (SEO), and progress them to the right car.Getting your next car is exciting, and I get to build products to keep it that way.
