Hi, I’m Pat 👋

New Chapter: Joining Warner Bros. Discovery! WBD is home to some of the most iconic stories, brands, and creative talent in the world—and behind the scenes, there’s a massive opportunity to apply AI in ways that make work smarter, faster, and more human-centered. I’m thrilled to be joining that mission from the technology side. 🎬✨ What I’ll Be Working On As the Lead Product Manager - AI Solutions, I’m part of the Enterprise Service Management Office (ESMO), where I lead product strategy for AI-powered capabilities on the ServiceNow platform. My focus is on turning emerging AI technologies into practical, high-impact solutions that improve how teams operate across the enterprise. ...

At KPMG, I became a solution leader. 🚀 I led service solutions from the ground up—defining org charts, pitching for funding, mapping workflows, launching cloud platforms ☁️, navigating legal and risk, and demoing the results to execs. AI? ✅ UX? ✅ Sleepless nights and 9-hour meeting days? Also ✅. I delivered systems that scaled, represented Managed Services to clients across industries, and drove sales alongside our go-to-market teams. I even got to shape how we showed up as a firm. ...

St. Patrick’s Day, 2014—I became a consultant. Altametrics hired me, and within a week I had a charcoal Mazda 6 (no more bus rides), a new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 🖋️, a girlfriend, and a brand-new chapter. I led ERP transformations for major restaurant brands, gained incredible mentors, and worked side by side with clients across Dallas, Denver, and Atlanta. Along the way, I learned the art of demos, enterprise rollouts, UI/UX thinking, machine learning forecasting models, and what it means to be the expert in the room—especially when presenting to execs. ...

At Ingram Micro, I met the cloud—and I glimpsed my future. ☁️ I helped shape an e-commerce platform for a global cloud marketplace, enabling channel partners to resell services from Microsoft, Cisco, IBM, and more. I even built a Prezi 📽️ to translate the concept of “cloud” for internal stakeholders—clarifying it for them, and for myself. That role taught me more than just acronyms. I learned how to think like a consultant by absorbing the principles of product management, business analysis, QA, project delivery, and cross-functional communication. 💡 ...

I got lucky with my first real job. 🍀 At UC Irvine’s Executive Education team, I started as a student assistant—but became “the website guy” among Orange County’s education and business leaders. I managed online course portals, posted lecture materials, photos, and event videos 📚🎥, and made sure the virtual classroom ran smoothly for every cohort. When life pulled me away from school, they didn’t let go. They let me work remotely until I could return. ...

My journey began watching my Dad code. 💻 He ran a web design business in the ’90s—back when dial-up tones 🔊 and table layouts ruled the internet. From the living room, I learned HTML, CSS, Photoshop, and the foundations of running a service business. I wasn’t just absorbing code; I was absorbing curiosity, client thinking, and how tech could bring ideas to life. That early exposure is why I don’t just build tech—I build with intent. 🔧✨ ...
