What I'm looking for

I seek a product role where I can lead mobile product strategy, drive growth through experimentation and analytics, collaborate cross-functionally, and mentor teams in a fast-paced, user-centered environment.

I am a product manager with hands-on experience building and scaling mobile apps used by millions worldwide. I led product strategy and execution for PokeRaid (2M+ downloads, 4.8/5) and launched PokeTrade (1M+ downloads), drove feature initiatives like tournaments that lifted engagement, and established user research, A/B testing, and analytics practices to enable data-driven decisions.

I brought cross-functional leadership to bear by hiring and managing QA, working directly with founders and engineers, and iterating product features that produced strong retention and acquisition outcomes. My background in analytical problem solving and user-centered design is grounded in formal education and diverse practical experience delivering measurable growth.
