About

I'm an aspiring Product Manager building toward fintech and AI-driven products, backed by hands-on experience in MSME lending and a growing toolkit for building products end-to-end. I currently work at Tap Capital, a fintech startup in the MSME lending space, in a role that blends business development and credit understanding client requirements, supporting credit assessment, and coordinating across teams to enable smooth loan execution. Working closely with business owners to analyze financials, assess cash flows, and evaluate risk has given me a ground-level view of a real, complex lending workflow and made me curious about how the platforms behind it are actually built and prioritized. That curiosity is why I'm now formalizing my shift into product: I completed a certification in AI Product Management from Airtribe (July 2026), covering product discovery, roadmap prioritization, PRD and user-story writing, and AI/LLM product design. Alongside this, I've been building AI products hands-on using tools like Claude, Antigravity, and Cursor going from idea to working product without a traditional engineering background. I'm an MBA (Finance) graduate from Christ University, and I bring that finance + fintech domain grounding to product conversations I understand credit, risk, and lending mechanics from the inside, not just from a case study. I'm looking for Product Management roles (fintech, lending, or AI/LLM products) where this combination domain depth + product fluency + a builder's mindset can add real value from day one.
