AI-native product manager who owns discovery-to-launch growth with data and AI systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m an AI-native Product Manager who ships end-to-end—owning discovery through launch, designing high-fidelity flows in Figma, and building the AI and content systems that drive growth. I’m at my best when I can take operator-grade 0→1 ownership and turn ambiguity into measurable outcomes.
In consumer iOS product work, I drive strategy and delivery: discovery, roadmap and requirements writing, and release coordination with a small engineering pod. I diagnosed a platform-wide activation issue and rebuilt onboarding to drive a 30% increase in tracked user actions, then instrumented the funnel end-to-end myself using Mixpanel and SQL dashboards.
I also run growth experimentation loops across organic and paid channels, reducing user acquisition cost from $1.37 to about $1.20. On the content side, I produced and directed 15+ short-form campaigns that surpassed 1M views each, refining positioning and roadmap to support accelerator and investor readiness.
Right now, I’m designing and owning an AI-assisted editorial content system using the OpenAI API—covering blog identities, the editorial calendar, and KPI instrumentation—so it auto-populates the in-app feed and extends into social as a top-of-funnel layer (launching Q3 2026 with engineering).
