## About

Product Manager \| Cloud & AI \| Startup Founder \| Growth Award Winner I’m a product manager with over 5 years of experience in building scalable, user\-centric tech products that deliver tangible business value\. I specialize in core product roles that sit at the intersection of customer insight, technical feasibility, and business strategy\. At IBM, I led the end\-to\-end delivery of cloud and SAP automation features, reducing deployment time by 70% and improving test reliability by 100%, earning the IBM Growth Award\. I’ve also launched an AI\-driven tool that optimized operations across cross\-functional teams\. As a founder at GlobalMadad, I helped 250\+ underprivileged students upskill and secure employment through digital education\. I raised $200K in support via Xartup Fellowship and managed product, design, and go\-to\-market strategy with a lean team\. I thrive in fast\-paced, collaborative environments where I can apply discovery\-to\-delivery best practices, AARRR/HEART frameworks, and North Star metrics to iterate quickly and solve real user problems\. With a blend of entrepreneurial drive, customer empathy, and technical fluency, my mission is to harness technology to improve operations, elevate user experience, and scale impact\. Let’s connect if you’re building purpose\-driven products that prioritize user needs, scale impact, and drive measurable outcomes\.
