My experience spans across fintech, e-commerce, and enterprise software solutions, where I have successfully led cross-functional teams to deliver innovative digital products. Notably, I spearheaded the development of multiple software products, including FinMeUp and Pepcell, which resulted in significant revenue growth and user engagement.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in stakeholder analysis, process mapping, and UI/UX design. My role as a Product Consultant has allowed me to lead projects like the Ampath Pro Plus medical app, where I ensured successful project execution through meticulous requirements gathering and user testing. I am passionate about leveraging data-driven insights to drive business growth and enhance user experiences.
