What I'm looking for

I seek a product role in fintech or payments where I can lead cross-functional teams, build scalable API-driven products, and drive user-focused outcomes in a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I am a Product Owner with 4+ years of hands-on fintech experience building terminal management systems, virtual account infrastructures, and merchant platforms that improve operational efficiency and drive adoption. I translate business needs into practical, scalable digital products, own product backlogs end-to-end, and collaborate closely with engineering, design, sales, and support to deliver measurable outcomes.

My work includes leading cross-functional teams, defining roadmaps, implementing API integrations and reconciliation flows, and driving UI/UX modernization. I prioritize data-driven decisions, user testing, and stakeholder alignment to launch features such as split settlement, partial/scheduled withdrawals, wallet integrations, and improved terminal onboarding.
