What I'm looking for

I seek senior product roles where I can lead cross-functional teams, drive product strategy and GTM, own end-to-end execution in fast-paced, compliance-sensitive environments, and mentor teams to deliver measurable business and user impact.

I am a Senior Technical Product Manager who combines strategic vision with hands-on execution to build customer-centric products in fast-paced environments. I have led cross-functional teams across payments, fintech, SaaS, and consumer products to deliver measurable business results.

Recent achievements include driving a Distribution Management System go-live with zero backlash, leading a dispute team and shipping Dispute Portal features, launching an MVP that achieved 3,000 sign-ups in week one, contributing to a $100k raise, and launching payments products that processed significant transaction volumes. I prioritize agile practices, regulatory compliance, stakeholder alignment, and process optimization to scale products and mentor teams.
