What I'm looking for

I am looking for product roles where I can leverage my analytical mindset and diverse skill set to drive meaningful impact.

As a Product Manager with over 3 years of experience, I specialize in building AI and Web3 products from the ground up. Currently, I lead the end-to-end product lifecycle for flagship AI features at a YC-backed startup, where my efforts have contributed to scaling the company to over $1M in annual recurring revenue. My approach combines strong product instincts with user empathy, allowing me to translate complex AI capabilities into user-friendly features.

My journey in product management has been marked by rapid prototyping and a hands-on technical skill set. I have successfully scaled an AI-powered creative platform, defined OKRs, and led cross-functional teams to drive feature development. My previous roles have equipped me with a deep understanding of user needs, enabling me to conduct effective user research and create prototypes that resonate with target audiences.
