About

🖐️A Product Owner and Product Builder with nearly 7 years of experience across FinTech, US Payroll and Supply Chain/Logistics, combining product delivery with a strong software engineering foundation. I work at the intersection of business problems, customer needs, data and technology; turning ambiguous requirements into well-defined products, workflows, APIs and measurable outcomes. My experience spans product discovery, requirements gathering, backlog prioritization, user stories, acceptance criteria, API integrations, stakeholder management, Agile delivery, UAT, and product analytics. I’m particularly comfortable working on technically complex products where understanding system architecture, data flows, integrations, and edge cases is as important as understanding the user or business problem. 💼A few outcomes I’ve contributed to: • Led the design and rollout of a Foreclosure Automation System that reduced loan closure turnaround time by 40%. • Co-owned fintech payment and transaction workflows processing 250K+ transactions daily, including API integrations, webhooks, reconciliation and failure handling. • Defined requirements and acceptance criteria for an Automated Reconciliation Engine, reducing transaction mismatches by 90%. • Improved sprint predictability to 95%+ through backlog refinement, stakeholder alignment and proactive dependency management. • Supported US workforce management and payroll products serving 80+ construction companies and ~4,000 end users, while owning release readiness across 10+ product modules and 12+ production releases. 🚀I’ve also built products independently from 0→1. For Keepr, I conducted 20+ discovery interviews, identified capture and retrieval problems, defined the MVP, made UX and prioritization decisions and shipped a production-ready product. I’ve also built News Radar, an AI-powered briefing product focused on personalized information discovery. My technical background helps me collaborate closely with engineers and architects on REST APIs, webhooks, data flows, integrations, system behavior, and technical trade-offs, while my product experience keeps the focus on the problem being solved and the outcome we’re trying to achieve. 💬I’m currently exploring Product Owner, Product Analyst and Product Manager opportunities where I can contribute across product discovery, analytics, strategy and execution, particularly in FinTech/BFSI, SaaS/IT, Supply Chain, Logistics and other technology-led products.
