I build the marketplace, connector and embedded-widget layers that HRIS providers ship under their own brand: an app marketplace (mPaaS), an integrations and connector layer (iPaaS), and embedded partner widgets that sit inside HRIS modules (ePaaS). Took the stack from an idea to production across 4 HRIS platforms covering 18,000+ employers in 70+ countries. Platform MRR grew 4x in 18 months and monthly active users tripled. Marketplace-sourced deals now make up as much as 45% of our solution providers' monthly closures, and partners have self-listed 100+ apps through the developer platform I built. The work runs from discovery to release: user research, PRDs and specs, REST API and schema design, SSO and OAuth flows, webhooks and data sync, partner ecosystem strategy, A/B testing, product analytics, QA and release sign-off. I currently own the roadmap for a 4-agent AI HR assistant covering HRIS records, aggregate queries, payroll and app management, now in beta. I report to the founder and lead a cross-functional squad of 5.

About

I started my career solving people's problems. Now, I use AI to build Products for a better user experience. My journey began in customer experience, where I learned that every complaint hides a story — and every story is an opportunity to build better. From there, I moved into marketing, translating those stories into campaigns that resonated. Then came growth marketing, where the data caught up with the intuition — and I realized that true growth is equal parts empathy and experimentation. Working at the Founder’s Office changed everything. I saw the gears turn behind the curtain — strategy, design, operations, product — and how one small insight can reshape an entire business. That’s where the dots connected, and my curiosity evolved into product management — the craft of building experiences that work beautifully and scale thoughtfully. Today, I’m building products that simplify complexity — connecting the dots between business, design, and user behaviour. My approach blends the empathy of a CX professional, the creativity of a marketer, and the precision of a product manager. A few beliefs that shape how I work and live: - Obsession beats talent. Every time. - I’m not the smartest in the room, but I’m usually the one who won’t give up. - I don’t operate for views. Any radical opinion can get attention. - I’ve had the front seat in businesses that were bootstrapped, seed-strapped, and VC-backed—and I’ve learned from every version. - I read at least 6 books a year. Half of them I read very slowly to let them truly shape my thinking. - I watch/listen to a lot of podcasts where smart people talk and ideas are unpacked with nuance. Some I take notes on, others I critique in my head. - I probably have the best family and a few blessed friends I could ask for. - Creative & user-centric projects are my fuel. - I’m an animal lover. If you treat animals badly, we won’t get along — no matter who you are. Always up for building cool stuff with good people. Let’s talk.
