About

I’m a Senior Product Manager with 14+ years of experience operating across product strategy and delivery, DevOps/release execution, business operations, and customer outcomes in SaaS, fintech, and e-commerce. In my current role at Axiom Services, I’ve driven end-to-end execution across roadmap planning, backlog and technical debt prioritization, release readiness/testing, and stakeholder communication — helping ship 50+ releases over 6 years while improving product reliability and delivery cadence. I’ve also supported measurable business impact, including growing average monthly revenue from 200K to 500K and doubling the user base from 200 to 450 through focused product improvements and customer-driven iteration. I’m hands-on with the operating system behind consistent shipping: strong JIRA workflows, clear triage and escalation, structured QA/test environments, and tight collaboration with delivery and support to keep delivery predictable. I bring an outcomes mindset shaped by customer success and service operations — using feedback loops and metrics to improve experience, adoption, and retention — while staying grounded in what’s buildable and valuable.
