I’ve led products end-to-end, from 0→1 ideation to scale, working closely with engineering, design, data, and business teams. My work spans B2C experiences, payments and onboarding automation, internal platforms (CRM), and AI-powered products, always grounded in deep user empathy and first-principles thinking.
