@mustafalokhandwala
Product Manager with 3 years of experience driving SaaS and AI products from discovery to measurable business outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I am a Product Manager with 3+ years of experience building and scaling SaaS and AI-powered products, primarily in conversational AI and customer-facing platforms. I have worked closely with engineering, design, sales, and enterprise clients to take products from early discovery to production launch and post-go-live optimization. My work spans voicebots, chatbots, OCR-powered web applications, kiosk systems, and customer portals, with a strong focus on usability, reliability, and business impact.
I bring hands-on experience in requirement discovery, PRD creation, workflow design, sprint validation, UAT ownership, and release readiness. I have led client demos, onboarding, and stakeholder reviews, translating complex requirements into clear, execution-ready product plans. With a strong foundation in quality, edge cases, and real-world user behavior, I focus on building products that scale well and deliver measurable outcomes. I am especially interested in AI-driven products, platforms, and tools that solve real problems through thoughtful design and strong execution.
