What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role where I can lead AI-driven product strategy and execution, work cross-functionally, drive measurable growth, and ship experiments that scale within a collaborative, product-led organization.

I am a product manager focused on building and growing AI-driven marketplace experiences and shipping products from 0 to early product-market fit. I led the creation of an AI job-search agent and overhauled a recruiter product suite that materially improved conversion and monetization.

My work blends strategy, hands-on prototyping, and cross-functional execution with engineering, design, data, and GTM partners. I’ve driven measurable results — including major conversion gains, engagement uplifts, and supply expansion — through experiments, LLM prompt development, and systems thinking.

I prioritize clarity in ambiguous problem spaces, pragmatic evaluation frameworks, and shipping fast experiments that inform durable product decisions. I enjoy translating technical trade-offs into business impact and mentoring teams to operationalize AI and PLG initiatives.
