I build compounding product growth engines through experimentation, SEO, automation, and product-led growth.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I built and scaled Blockify, an ad blocker for Spotify, from zero to 380,000+ users with $0 CAC. Through rapid experimentation, I improved conversion from 29% to 51% and reduced D1 churn from 34% to 21% in under 30 days.
At Brevo, I improved top-keyword rankings from 11 to 5.2, driving a 106% increase in organic installs, and lifted new-user activation by 36% through AI-powered automation. I also designed agentic N8N flows that resurrected 22% of dormant users.
Previously at Cutshort, I designed a compounding growth engine that increased daily sessions from 142K to 558K and contributed to 330% MRR growth within 14–16 months. I bring hands-on experience across product-led growth, SEO, ASO, GTM, experimentation, and scalable growth systems.
