What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role where I can leverage my expertise in product management and technology innovation to drive impactful solutions in a dynamic environment.

I am a Senior Product Manager with over 14 years of experience in building and scaling innovative technology solutions. My journey has been marked by a strong focus on product management, particularly in the realms of blockchain and generative AI. I have successfully led cross-functional teams to deliver high-impact products, such as Kalp Wallet and Kalp Bot, which have significantly enhanced user engagement and operational efficiency.

My expertise extends to strategic product roadmap development and execution, where I leverage my Six Sigma Green Belt certification to ensure that products not only meet market needs but also exceed customer expectations. I thrive in fast-paced environments, consistently driving products from concept to market success while managing stakeholder relationships and aligning product strategies with business goals.
