About Me

Product leader with a passion for building transformative technology

I'm a Product Manager with 9+ years of startup experience leading 0→1 product development, full-cycle feature delivery, platform scaling, and API integrations scoping across B2B2C environments. I've successfully launched products to 3M+ users, driving adoption, retention, and product-market fit.

My journey spans from Software Engineer to Product Manager, giving me a unique technical perspective on product strategy. I'm skilled in product-led growth, customer lifecycle management, cross-functional collaboration, and automation — fluent in SQL, API integrations, and AI-driven workflows.

Currently at Growdash.ai, I lead product across Growth & Technology — architecting a real-time POS intelligence platform, shipping an LLM-powered Menu Engineering AI, and owning Mixpanel rollout, predictive churn scoring, and end-to-end sales automation pipelines.
