12 Years in Payments @ PayPal — Checkout, Subscriptions & Billing Agreements | Targeting PM roles in Fintech & Consumer Tech

About

For twelve years I've built the parts of PayPal that most people never see: billing agreements, subscription checkout screens, merchant APIs, and the retry logic that keeps a failed payment from quietly turning into a lost customer. Along the way I've increasingly owned the product side of that work — writing PRDs and roadmaps, running experiments, and making trade-offs behind decisions that shipped real impact: a 10% lift in mobile checkout conversion, a 10x reduction in failed-payment incidents, and a zero-downtime migration of 40M+ daily API calls. I'm now looking to take that ownership further, in a formal Product Manager role. Payments in India is about to change fast — UPI AutoPay and card mandates are making recurring payments both harder to get right and more valuable when you do — and that's the kind of problem I want to own.
