## About

```text
I’m a Product Manager with 5+ years of experience building and scaling digital products across fintech, payments, SaaS, AI, and B2B/B2C platforms. I’ve led products from discovery and strategy through delivery, working closely with engineering, design, operations, compliance, and business teams.

My experience includes payment infrastructure, APIs, wallets, KYC/AML workflows, cross-border payments, financial operations, and customer-facing digital products. At Xtron, I’ve worked on fintech products and technical initiatives, translating business and customer needs into PRDs, user stories, roadmaps, and executable requirements.

I’ve also worked on marketplace and SaaS products, including Taskitly, where a product improvement contributed to a 40% increase in task completion, and I’ve delivered initiatives that improved user engagement by 25%.

I’m particularly interested in fintech, AI-powered products, financial inclusion, and products solving real problems in emerging markets. I enjoy taking ambiguous problems, turning them into clear product opportunities, and working with teams to ship measurable outcomes.
