What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build AI-native, mobile, and digital products where I can own strategy through launch and growth, lead cross-functional teams, and use discovery, prototyping, and experimentation to solve meaningful user problems.

I've owned product strategy and lifecycle for 40+ mobile apps at Air Apps, including Translate Now, a flagship product with 12M+ MAU. I led cross-functional teams across engineering, design, QA, data, and marketing while taking products from ideation through GTM and post-launch optimization.

My work delivered 29% year-over-year revenue growth and a 45% activation uplift in 2024 by addressing funnel friction and launching high-impact features. I also reduced operating costs by approximately 30% through API optimization and feature consolidation, shipped 10+ AI-powered features, and launched eight new products.

Today, I work independently across AI-native web and mobile products, from opportunity discovery and product definition to AI workflow architecture, UX/UI, launch, and growth. I support Use.ai’s iOS and Android launch for a platform with 25M+ MAU, build independent AI-native iOS apps, and lead 0-to-1 strategy and delivery for UnlockedAI.

Earlier, at Barefoot College, I led distributed teams in Italy and India and delivered a three-app CRM suite supporting field operations. I combine product strategy, rapid prototyping, UI/UX, AI workflow design, and data-driven experimentation to turn validated opportunities into useful products.
