What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation, collaboration, and growth.

With over 15 years of experience spanning Software Quality Assurance to Product Management — including driving success at a Series B-funded startup — I bring a unique balance of technical depth and business acumen, making me well-equipped to help scale your product and accelerate growth

I have been building web and mobile products as a consumer-facing Product Manager for over three years.

Most recently, I worked on the core management team to build a Shopify app Carro, which is a cross store selling product. I am an expert in product, operations, and agile and waterfall mobile and web development. I am a highly organized team-player who can fill any role as a generalist, and at the same time, dive deep to formulate innovative solutions to specific goals. With a strong technical background by qualification as well as initial career path, I bring the unique combination of technical depth and business acumen.
