1. Built a machine maintenance platform that helped industrial teams keep equipment running and cut unplanned downtime. 2. Built the core platform — machine tracking, preventive maintenance scheduling, breakdown logging, and service history across sites. 3. Shipped an agentic AI assistant that walked technicians through diagnosis step by step, pulling fixes from manuals and that machine's own service history. 4. Launched a marketplace connecting plants to vetted field engineers and spare parts suppliers, replacing a slow, referral-driven process. 5. Raised a pre-seed round and touched $1M ARR.

About

I don't come from a traditional product management background. I've built products by working directly with messy, real-world problems — where workflows are unclear, users don't behave like textbook users, and there's no playbook to follow. My strength is 0→1 product building — taking ambiguous environments and turning them into structured, working systems. I think of products as workflows that capture signal, reduce cognitive load, and drive real outcomes — not as feature lists. I pick things up fast when needed. Recently, I built an AI troubleshooting agent grounded in machine manuals, service history, and real operational data — no prior programming background — by going deep into LLMs, retrieval systems, and how they fit into actual workflows. I have a strong inclination toward physical systems — engineering, biology, and how real-world signals translate into usable products. That's a direction I'm actively looking to apply in areas like health, wearables, and sensing systems. I've taken a different path into product — through building and deploying systems end-to-end. I'm comfortable in ambiguity and figure things out from first principles.
