What I'm looking for

I seek product roles where I can lead AI-enabled SaaS growth, own enterprise partnerships, and blend hands-on engineering with GTM strategy.

I am a product manager and software engineer with a strong track record building AI-enabled SaaS and e-commerce products. I combine technical implementation experience with product strategy to deliver measurable business impact.

At ByteDance I negotiated and integrated a $24M enterprise partnership, co-led a 16-person cross-functional team, and drove a multi-modal AI content product that grew unique monthly visitors 20% in three months.

I have founded and shipped a Shopify B2B app with 100+ business users and a perfect rating, and at Trendsi led frontend product development that increased cart conversion by 35% while reducing fraud and improving SEO and performance metrics.

My hands-on engineering background includes React, TypeScript and frontend systems used in national networks and large-scale dashboards, and I actively pursue roles where I can blend technical leadership, GTM strategy, and product operations to scale impactful products.
