Product Manager \| Former CTO \| Building Products from Scratch \| Mobility, Robotics & SaaS

## About

I'm a product manager with 9\+ years of experience that started in technical leadership and moved into product management\. I've built products from scratch and scaled them to 70K\+ users across mobility, robotics, and SaaS\. I've also helped raise $2M\+ in defense contracts and driven 8X revenue growth\. Recently advised on two products: a children's storytelling platform that uses voice cloning and generates stories in 22 languages, and a wealth management platform that helps automate investment decisions\. Before getting into product management, I was the founding CTO at a defense robotics startup, then did technical consulting across logistics, enterprise software, and a few other domains\. That consulting work was a deliberate choice to learn product management in different industries before committing to it full\-time\. What I'm good at: • Building new products from scratch: talking to users, writing requirements, designing features, getting first customers • Working with technical teams on complex systems: language models, retrieval systems, embeddings, prompt engineering • Growing products: took one from 4K to 70K monthly users, 8X revenue growth, signed 15\+ enterprise clients across 3 countries • Technical work: Python, TypeScript, Rust, C\+\+; robotics frameworks, databases, cloud infrastructure • Leading teams: grew a team from 4 to 26 people, managed large contracts, mentored product managers and engineers Looking for my next product role in UAE where I can lead a new product or business unit\.
