What I'm looking for

I want to lead AI-powered product strategy and engineering in remote, cross-functional teams—shipping measurable growth. I’m excited by 0→1 builds, platform architecture, PLG, and governance that improves speed, reliability, and cost efficiency.

I’m an AI product & growth leader with 10+ years building and scaling products from 0→1 across fintech, media-tech, and digital platforms. I operate at the intersection of product strategy, engineering, and AI systems—driving founder-level ownership and measurable outcomes in acquisition, engagement, and revenue.

I lead cross-functional teams (product, engineering, design, DevOps) in fully remote and distributed environments, translating product vision into ship-ready execution. Recent results include delivering an MVP from a stalled state in 2–3 months, launching AI-powered features (multilingual translation, text-to-speech, image generation), and reducing production bugs by 70% while increasing delivery speed by 30%—so systems scale and growth compounds.
