I’m a Product Analyst turning stakeholder needs into PRDs and using product analytics to drive data-backed decisions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Product Analyst who bridges business, product, and engineering—turning stakeholder needs into BRDs, functional specs, and solution proposals. I’m especially energized by 0→1 launch work and partner integrations where clear system workflows and API thinking matter.
At Protium Finance Limited, I’ve owned end-to-end product analytics for Echo, building Power BI dashboards to surface feature-engagement and funnel drop-off bottlenecks. I also led a 0→1 Partner Portal launch in an Agile squad, translating stakeholder needs into PRDs, user stories, acceptance criteria, and test cases, while coordinating UAT sign-off across engineering, design, and sales—driving a 20% increase in partner (DSA) leads and a 40% reduction in sales turnaround time.
I’ve strengthened decision-making through analytics and operations: I designed and launched loaneligibility policy changes that drove a 20% increase in loan disbursal, wrote SQL to monitor conversion funnels, and built automated access-review workflows for 27 applications with n8n. I’m also pushing AI adoption with internal LLM assistants, AI IDEs, and UI-generation tools to accelerate analytics, UI development, and process automation, and I bring additional product foundations from my Power BI dashboards and user interviews work during my Product Intern role.
