  • Expert-level skills in funnel analysis, user segmentation, analytics, and experimentation metrics.

  • Strong ability to conduct user interviews, communicate effectively, and prioritize tasks.

  • Experience with AI chatbots for user engagement.

  • Familiarity with crash report analysis and internet forum communication.
