Great products don't start with a roadmap.
They start with the right question.
I work with companies that have the technology, the team, and the ambition, but not the clarity. I find the product inside the problem and build the path to ship it.
Find the product
Most teams know they have something. They don’t know what it is yet. I run the discovery, test the hypotheses, and find the version that’s worth building first.
Shape the narrative
Great technology fails when nobody can explain it. I translate complex technical work into the story that gets the funding, the buy-in, or the acquisition.
Ship it
Broken launches, stalled programs, teams pulling in ten directions. I build the structure that turns chaos into forward motion and gets the product out the door.
Bring AI into the operation
I embed with teams across the organization and redesign how work gets done with AI. Not a demo. Not a workshop. Sustained operational change that sticks after I leave.

Allison Alvarado
Founder, Alvarado Tech
Product strategist with an engineering foundation. The technical depth to sit in a room with hardware engineers or data scientists and follow the conversation. The product instinct to decide what gets built. The program discipline to make sure it ships.
R&D Portfolio Lead at Sony. Senior Engineering Program Manager at Apple. Patent holder. Selected by Apple for the CDSA board (Hollywood content security standards).
Every role had the same shape: a hard problem nobody wanted to own, a team that needed direction, and a result that changed the trajectory of the business. Alvarado Tech is that work, formalized.
