What I'm looking for

I seek product roles that leverage my biotech expertise and app development experience, offering cross-functional collaboration, user-centered product work, and growth into product leadership.

I am a biotechnology professional transitioning into product management, combining a strong scientific background with hands-on project execution and educational leadership. I hold a Master's in Biotechnology and have more than two years of experience teaching undergraduate students and tutoring younger learners.

In academic roles I developed curricula for a six-semester undergraduate program, coordinated industrial visits, implemented competitive learning programs, and managed assessments for over 100 students. I served as a Departmental Representative and designed career-oriented assignments to boost student outcomes.

As a maker and published mobile application developer, I designed, developed, and published the 'SVAAD' app and delivered an enhanced next version, managing the full lifecycle from concept to release. I also built side projects such as a digital lab management tool (BioLab Notes) and a personal portfolio showcasing my transition from biotech to product.

I bring skills in stakeholder management, cross-functional collaboration, lab techniques, bioinformatics, and product tools like Figma and Balsamiq. I am motivated to apply my analytical and leadership strengths to product roles that bridge scientific domains and user-centered design.
