What I'm looking for

I seek Product Manager roles where I can lead user-centered, data-informed product development on cross-functional teams, with opportunities for growth and measurable impact.

I am an aspiring Product Manager with a builder’s mindset and a curiosity for how things work, skilled at turning complex ideas into products people enjoy using.

My experience includes product research and strategy, analytics-driven feature design, and rapid prototyping using Figma, Python, Excel, and MySQL, with measurable improvements in efficiency, engagement, and sales.

I have led cross-functional teams and coordinated agile sprints to deliver launches quickly, and I pair user research—surveys, interviews, usability tests—with data analysis to prioritize high-impact fixes and roadmap decisions.

I am motivated by empathy, clarity, and making lasting impact; I bring hands-on technical skills from my computer engineering background and a track record of driving adoption, accessibility, and product performance.
