A Product & Technical Program Manager with a passion for driving product strategy, discovery, and execution. With a background spanning industries and business models, I specialize in transforming complex challenges into actionable roadmaps that accelerate growth and drive revenue.
Experience across major stacks and languages as a product manager, and experience building personally with Rails, HTML/CSS, AWS/Heroku, Vue/Nuxt, React, Flutter, and more, but I know my limitations - I'm always learning!
Ship secure, reliable, and scalable products
Agile Methodologies
Leverage Agile, Scrum, and pragmatic process design—paired with clear communication to deliver predictable outcomes and de‑risk execution.
Optimized Load Times
Partner closely with engineering to optimize performance for fast, accessible experiences that improve SEO and user satisfaction.
Security-First Approach
I Prioritize security across initiatives and implement controls to prevent vulnerabilities—protecting data, systems, and people.
API-First Integrations
I promote API‑first integrations, wiring scalable REST and GraphQL services—from Stripe and Plaid to PayPal, Airtable, Salesforce and more; unlock business capability without the complexity of a monolithic architecture.
const stripe = Stripe('pk_test_51Jf0p1F0yWp3Wf0p1F0yWp3Wf0p1F0yWp3Wf0p1F0yWp3Wf0p1F0yWp3');
const const form = document.getElementById('payment-form');
form.addEventListener('submit', async (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const { error } = await stripe.confirmCardPayment(clientSecret, {
receipt_email: document.querySelector('#email').value,
payment_method: {
card: cardElement,
billing_details: {
name: document.querySelector('#name').value,
},
},
});
if (error) {
// Handle error
} else {
// Payment successful
}
});
A snapshot of the product craft, motivations, and operating principles that shape how I partner with teams and guide work from idea to measurable impact.
I’m Taylor J. Ferguson, Los Angeles–based, but originally from East Setauket, NY. I’m a product and technical product manager with 7+ years translating ambiguous mandates into traction for fintech, consultancy, and emerging tech teams.
My approach to product development begins with structured continuous product discovery, immersing in customer goals, validating hypotheses with rapid testing, and iterating, and shaping products that hold up to pricing, revenue, and go-to-market scrutiny.
Recent epochs have been intentionally split between consulting, focused learning, and building: completing a product leadership certification (PLC), sharpening Vue/Nuxt and AWS fundamentals, and broadening AI/ML knowledge so I can contribute deeper insight with engineering and data science stakeholders.
Right now I’m a part-time Technical PM at OneSynergee, helping an agri-tech and climate-focused startup (fintech-adjacent), prioritize the roadmap, formalize delivery rituals, and align data, design, and engineering on durable operating cadence.
If we collaborate, you can expect clarity around objectives, principled curiosity for the user, and an insistence on shipping outcomes that compound value for the business and the teams shipping the work.
When I'm not working I'm usually riding my bike 🚴, exploring LA, or hacking away on a side project.

This business case outlines the process of validating the need to ship significant improvements to the core infotainment and mobile app experiences for the Volvo technology ecosystem. These improvements aim to enhance engagement, customer satisfaction (CSAT), and reduce feature bypass through Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The ultimate goal is to address the 68% retention drop-off reported, post-launch.
