About

I'm a Product Manager who builds AI and SaaS products from scratch - from the first user interview to a shipped, production-ready product. Most recently, I led the development of an LLM-powered automated assessment platform - where AI evaluates student submissions against benchmarks, and human reviewers approve the output. That human-in-the-loop design cut evaluation time by 70% and became the core of how the product drove adoption. Before that, I led delivery of a Remote Patient Monitoring platform - connecting patient devices like glucometers and BP monitors to clinic dashboards in real time. A platform that went on to generate $75-100M in revenue potential. Today, I work as a Fractional PM with early-stage SaaS founders - helping them go from "we have a problem" to a shipped MVP with real users. What I'm looking for: a PM role at an AI-first or SaaS B2B startup where I can own a product area, work close to users, and build things that actually move the needle. Open to opportunities - feel free to reach out.
