What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own product backlogs end-to-end, drive sprint-ready user stories with clear acceptance criteria, and partner cross-functionally on quality and roadmap decisions—using data and AI tools to improve delivery speed and reliability.

I’m a product-driven delivery leader with 12+ years in technology delivery, including 5+ years of embedded Product Owner responsibility across Fintech, Marketplace, and Fitness-Tech platforms. I translate business objectives into sprint-ready user stories, own and groom product backlogs, and define acceptance criteria with a quality-first, data-informed lens.

I partner closely with Product Managers, Engineering Leads, and UX teams to plan roadmaps and prioritize using MoSCoW and value-vs-effort frameworks. I coordinate UAT and release sign-off as the primary point of contact across stakeholders, ensuring shipped features meet business and customer expectations.

I’ve authored 500+ user stories and acceptance criteria across web, iOS, and Android, using SQL and Jira dashboards to surface product health metrics. I’m AI-literate—using tools like Gemini and GitHub Copilot to accelerate story refinement and backlog hygiene—and I’ve helped reduce production defect escape rate by ~30–40% via CI/CD-integrated quality gates with Playwright.
