Caruso has the right idea.

PMs should be creating solutions.

Hi, I'm Ron - I wanted to apply for the PM role at Caruso in a way that actually reflects the role.

I've built this site to share what excites me, how I think, and where I hope to contribute.

Show, don't tell.

I'm a PM who naturally gravitates towards exploring new, strategic ideas and building solutions.

Recent work

A few projects across domains I'm particularly proud of

End-to-end ownership

Dimensioner - Shipped a new hardware integration for a key Enterprise customer

Dimensioner - Shipped a new hardware integration for a key Enterprise customer primary

From v0 prototype to production code to warehouse floor. All before Black Friday.

One of our biggest enterprise customers, a 3PL processing over 1,000 orders a day, needed to integrate a dimensioner. It's a scale with a camera that captures parcel dimensions and weight in a single scan. Their warehouse team was manually measuring every box heading into peak season, costing them speed and accuracy.

I ran discovery on how the hardware worked, then built a fully functional standalone app in v0. To further improve UX, I moved the implementation into our real codebase and added barcode scanning so operators could trigger actions without reaching for a mouse between parcels. In a warehouse doing hundreds of orders a day, that kind of detail matters.

Turnaround of just a few weeks. Shipped before peak season. Even got to visit their warehouse for the final demo to see it in action. The customer was beaming and a lovely success story was posted on LinkedIn.

Designing for context

Customer Insights tool - Surfacing customer activity across platforms

Our sales team were checking three platforms for context before calls. Now they click one button.

I kept sitting in on Sales and Onboarding syncs and noticing the same pattern. Before every customer call, reps were tabbing between Chargebee, Zendesk, and Canny trying to piece together context. Valuable information was scattered across different platforms.

I built a Chrome sidepanel extension that automatically detects the customer email from the HubSpot page and pulls billing/trial status, open support tickets, and feature requests into a single panel. I added account overrides and keyboard shortcuts to remove even more friction from the workflow.

Nobody asked me to build this. I shared it and the entire Sales and Onboarding team adopted it within a week, no training required. Reps say their customer conversations are richer now because they walk into every call with full context.

Personal craft

Draftline - A thinking studio for refining raw ideas

Web AppWritingBuilt with AI
Draftline - A thinking studio for refining raw ideas primary

Built an interface that has changed how I plan, write, and develop ideas.

I don't think in straight lines. I jump between ideas, change direction mid-thought, and need to see everything at once before I know what I'm actually trying to say. Most note-taking tools felt too restrictive.

Draftline is a web app I built with Claude and Lovable for non-linear thinking. You work in cards you can shuffle, hide, reorder, and reshape. It shows a visual trail of how your thinking evolves over time. Now writing feels like sculpting ideas.

It eliminated my writer's block, made revisions feel less precious, and gave me confidence to build things I need but don't exist.

Teaching others

Curious & Creative Club - Teaching young students Science & Coding

EducationTech LiteracyProblem Solving
Curious & Creative Club - Teaching young students Science & Coding primary

Tutoring kids to build skills that will matter tomorrow. No curriculum. No exams. Just learning to love learning.

Every week for the last 5 years, I've run online classes where kids follow curiosity threads and build cool things. It started as coding and science classes. Now it's more about the process: how to ask good questions, how to deal with ambiguity, how to build something.

Lately we've been exploring AI together. Not as a shortcut, but responsibly as a sparring partner for their ideas. The rule is it helps you think further, not think less. It has unlocked an insane amount of learning potential.

Explaining complex ideas simply and clearly every class has made me a better communicator everywhere else. A PM is often the translator between teams, and this is where I built that muscle.

Why Caruso

Three reasons I'm drawn to this role

Challenging problem. Ambitious team

Two years in, $50B+ in assets, 4x growth. That trajectory means the problems are real and the stakes are high. I've been looking for an environment alongside a highly ambitious, low-ego team. That's where I do my best work.

Outcome over output. AI as leverage

Many companies have yet to fully realise the shift in PM roles in the age of AI. The vision Caruso has for this position excites me a lot as it describes how I naturally operate.

A role that rewards range

I studied Computer Science, Finance, and Business Analytics at uni. Care deeply for design. Fluency with code. Enjoy speaking to customers and cross-collaborating. And love learning new things. Many PM roles ask you to pick a lane. This one seems to value someone who doesn't want to.
