Motivated aspiring Product Manager with software engineering expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am a motivated aspiring Product Manager with a strong foundation in software engineering and hands-on experience in product development. My journey includes collaborating with PayPal’s product team on onboarding enhancements and leading lean product initiatives through my startup venture, MadProMan. I thrive in environments that value clarity, autonomy, and user impact.
At MadProMan, I built a lightweight product platform for AI client consulting, where I defined MVP features and collaborated with freelancers to create the first version. I conducted user interviews to shape onboarding and dashboard improvements, successfully triaging user issues and resolving 95% of them. My experience at PayPal further honed my skills in defining product specs, conducting A/B tests, and supporting backlog grooming, which resulted in a 15% increase in new user activation.
