What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own end-to-end technical product work—API integrations, automation, and measurable customer impact—within a fast-paced team that values clear documentation, rapid learning, and strong execution.

I’m a Technical Product Manager with 3+ years of experience building data-driven and integration-heavy products across SaaS and cloud platforms. I translate business needs into scalable technical solutions, with a strong focus on APIs, automation, and AI-enabled features in fast-paced environments.

Most recently as Associate Technical Product Manager at SpotDraft, I led discovery sessions with clients (Meesho, ShareChat, Fi Money) to define API integration requirements and designed end-to-end integration flows—API contracts, authentication, webhooks, and error handling. I also cut Tray.io usage by 27% by migrating high-usage workflows to updated/native integrations, revamped API documentation used across the organization, and made onboarding migrations self-servable for new hires.
