In my role as a Lead Technical Product Owner (Contract) at Armstrong Fluid Technology, I guide the development of advanced solutions that significantly enhance smart building management. By leveraging emerging IoT technologies, data analytics, and cloud-based platforms, I help shape products that drive down energy consumption, reduce carbon footprints, and cut operational costs. The outcomes are measurable and impactful: cleaner air, more efficient resource usage, and tangible financial savings for building owners. Through close collaboration with cross-functional teams—engineering, cloud, hardware, embedded, and business side—I ensure our solutions not only meet current sustainability targets but set new standards for intelligent, eco-friendly building performance.
