Students at our partner colleges were acing written tests and freezing up the moment they had to explain the same idea out loud. That gap became talkTier, an AI voice practice product I own the roadmap for, built on OpenAI's Realtime API. I sized the first market at 6.3 million dollars in the Indian subcontinent before we chase the bigger 7 billion dollar opportunity globally. Getting there meant sitting with the ML team through vendor evaluations, weighing cost against latency against how fast we could actually ship, and eventually pushing for a retrieval based setup over fine tuning so our content could keep changing without slowing us down. I watch the numbers every day and let them steer the roadmap.

For a year and a half I worked across very different problems for very different clients. On a Silicon Valley backed dating app, I ran interviews across three Southeast Asian markets and built a launch around trust: dual verification, restaurant partnered first dates, a subscription model I designed myself. We went from 100 users to over 2200 verified ones in six weeks. On a US healthcare project, I sat with physicians, admins and patients, learning where a hospital day breaks down, then made the case for a feature that let doctors record patient conversations instead of losing detail after a long shift. That one shipped after the recommendation went up to our SPM, and it reached four hospital systems and nine clinics across Illinois.

Health apps are hard to use well, mostly because people don't have the patience for onboarding when they're already anxious about their health. I cut ours from eleven steps down to three using progressive disclosure, and completions jumped 41 percent while retention moved from 28 to 45. I also built a multi profile system around the biggest pain point we heard in research, tested and surveyed across more than 350 people, which lifted task success by 47 percent. Alongside that, I shaped the scope for an in-app chatbot helping patients and professionals navigate the app, and owned the accessibility work that got us to WCAG 2.1 AA.

About

I wrote code before I wrote specs. My first job was shipping frontend features on a sprint clock, no room to ask why any of it mattered. That question followed me anyway. So I left engineering for product, chasing the same itch: sit with users, watch where they actually get stuck, build the thing that fixes it instead of the thing everyone assumed they wanted. Three and a half years in, across dating apps, hospitals and classrooms, I'm still doing exactly that. Still curious. Still wrong more often than I'd like, which is kind of the point.
