What I'm looking for

Fully remote roles across Product Management, Technical Product, Product Ownership, SaaS delivery, AI, platforms, and technical programs. I’m strongest where product, engineering, and delivery intersect, with ownership of roadmap execution, technical feasibility, cross-functional alignment, and outcomes. I value strong leadership, real users, meaningful ownership, and clear accountability.

At thegrower.ai (Hovi Digital Lab), I helped scale an AI-driven B2B SaaS platform from MVP to 200+ active customers, supporting growth to ~$1M ARR. I shaped roadmap priorities, aligned technical trade-offs with engineering capacity, and established a structured Agile operating model that improved execution predictability by ~40%.

At Product Systems Lab, I led project-based product and AI systems initiatives across generative AI, fintech, and enterprise automation. My work included shaping MVP direction for Aurora, improving HR workflows for GES & 51job.com, and validating Monimate’s personal finance platform; earlier, I managed ERP and POS implementations at Chimera Solutions.
