I’m looking for hands-on product roles where I can take complex or messy problems, understand the underlying process, turn them into clear product and technical requirements, and work closely with engineering through delivery.
Jose Miranda
@jcmiranda
I build digital products and workflow automation that turn complex operational problems into usable systems.
What I'm looking for
I've built and operated digital products across fantasy sports, gaming, workflow automation and internal operations. At RealFevr, I helped scale a web, iOS and Android fantasy sports platform to more than 1M users across 13 international competitions.
I owned discovery, requirements, backlogs, UX, QA, releases and live operations, translating complex sports rules into consistent product requirements. I also led a four-person team supporting global live competitions and worked with Opta, Sportmonks and WTVision on data APIs, mapping and normalization.
At PaperPushers, I build tools that replace manual workflows, spreadsheets and fragmented operational processes. I created a budgeting application that cut preparation time by about 90% and transformed an Excel-based water-treatment quoting process into a deterministic digital tool.
I've also founded and run businesses, including PENTAGON, which grew to a seven-person team and approximately €250K in annual revenue before exit. I'm looking to bring my product, operational and hands-on building experience to a strong product team while continuing to learn from the people around me.
