About Me

I'm Lance, a product manager and AI strategist. In every team I've been on, I become the same thing: the person who builds the solution instead of waiting for one, the one who finds an unorthodox fix for the problem everyone else works around.

At Accenture, I led product and program operations and built the AI tools to run them: a risk monitor, a vendor-intelligence tool, and automation reaching hundreds of people across nearly twenty teams. I don't hand off the building, I ship production tools on the Claude API myself.

I've taken my own products from first line of code to live users. Spont and TheOfficedle are both live today. My foundation is in management information systems, but the throughline has always been the same: I build systems that do the work, and I've got the products to prove it. And when I'm not building, I'm usually behind a camera at a show or hitting pickleballs into the Hudson River!

My Stack

Turquoise Cube

My core build tool, both the API I build products on and Claude Code, where I actually write. Being AI-native isn't a buzzword for me: it's how I ship things a traditional PM never could, from a RAID-log risk monitor to full products, live and in front of users.

My framework for production apps that real people use. TheOfficedle runs on it with live daily traffic and a streak system I built from scratch. I care about the full stack, not just the idea, because shipping is where most products die.

The front-end behind the internal tools I built on enterprise engagements. It lets me move fast and iterate on real interfaces instead of mockups. I'd rather put a rough working version in front of people than a perfect prototype nobody can click.

Where everything I build goes live. Both my products deploy and scale here, so I can go from an idea to a URL other people can open in an afternoon. Removing friction between building and shipping is the whole point.

The infrastructure layer nobody sees but everyone relies on: domains, DNS, email routing. I like understanding the unglamorous plumbing, because knowing how the whole system fits together is what lets me own a product end to end.

How I find out what users actually do instead of what I assume they do. Session replays, funnels, event tracking. Every product decision I make starts from real behavior, because taste without data is just a guess with confidence.

How I reach users after they show up: email and lifecycle messaging for Spont. Building the product is only half the job; keeping people coming back is the other half, and that runs on good, well-timed communication.

Where I think through a product visually before writing a line of code. It's the cheapest place to be wrong, so I make my mistakes here first. Designing the experience deliberately is what separates something intentional from something that just works.

My operating system for everything: roadmaps, specs, research, the messy middle of building. I run my own projects with the same rigor I brought to enterprise programs, because being organized is what lets me move fast without dropping things.

How I run product work: cycles, issues, roadmaps, the way serious product teams operate. Good process should be invisible: it keeps momentum without becoming busywork. I use it because shipping consistently beats shipping once.

Enterprise-grade product analytics, and I've owned it end to end, I led a full rollout replacing the legacy tooling. I know it from implementation to insight, not just the dashboard. Measuring impact at scale is how you prove a product is actually working.
