About

I am a Product Manager with an ownership mindset and 6+ years of experience building and scaling B2B SaaS platforms. My career has evolved from solving complex business problems for enterprise clients to co-founding an AI-driven startup. Most recently, I co-founded EvolveDev.io, an Engineering Intelligence platform. I led the product from 0-to-1, architecting algorithms that helped engineering leaders reduce development cycle times by 30%. I wore every hat—from defining the technical roadmap and deeply integrating with GitHub/Jira to pitching VCs and driving our Go-To-Market strategy. Prior to founding my own company, I managed product portfolios with a $500K revenue impact in the sales enablement space and led digital transformation projects for large-scale enterprise systems. What I bring to the table: 1. I don’t just manage features; I own outcomes. I understand how to balance technical debt with speed-to-market. 2. I leverage data to make hard decisions, from designing custom dashboards to utilizing DORA metrics for team performance. 3. I navigate complex environments. I am now looking for my next challenge as a Product Manager, eager to apply my founder's energy to a dynamic team.
