## About

I’m a Product & Growth professional with a technical foundation, currently working at the intersection of technology, product, growth, and AI\. I enjoy taking ambiguous problems and turning them into products, experiments, and measurable outcomes from understanding user behavior and identifying growth opportunities to building solutions and improving funnels\. At NxtWave, I work on growth initiatives involving product features, user acquisition, experimentation, funnel analysis, and student\-focused products\. This experience has taught me that building a product is only one part of the equation — understanding users, distribution, positioning, and business impact is what turns a product into a successful business\. My technical background in Computer Science helps me work closely with engineering teams and understand how products are actually built\. I’ve worked with technologies including React, Next\.js, Python, Django, Supabase, APIs, databases, and AI tools, while also exploring product analytics, SEO, growth experimentation, and automation\. I’m particularly interested in: → Product Management & Product Growth → AI\-powered products → Consumer & fintech products → Growth, experimentation & user behavior → 0→1 product building → Technology \+ Business strategy I’m not interested in being limited to a single function\. I want to become the kind of product leader who can understand the technology, identify the customer problem, build the solution, find distribution, and ultimately understand the business behind it\. Long term, I’m building toward product leadership and entrepreneurship — creating products that solve meaningful problems and can scale beyond the first few users\. I’m always open to conversations with product leaders, founders, builders, and people working on ambitious products\.
