Hi! I’m a founding engineer turned Product Manager who enjoys building 0→1 consumer products at the intersection of technology, user behavior, and growth. Over the last 4 years, I’ve worked across messaging, wellness, and marketplace products, owning everything from product strategy and roadmap decisions to analytics, experimentation, and hands-on implementation. I’ve helped scale a privacy-first messaging platform to 14k+ users, built growth and retention funnels using Mixpanel/CleverTap, and worked closely with founders, designers, and engineers to turn ambiguous ideas into shipped products. My background in engineering gives me a strong systems and execution mindset, while my product experience has pushed me deeper into user research, product discovery, growth loops, and AI-native workflows. I’m especially interested in products that combine strong user insight with rapid iteration and emerging AI capabilities. Currently building QuickWalk, a 0→1 dog-walking marketplace platform focused on matching, marketplace dynamics, and operational scalability. Interests: Consumer Products, AI-Native Workflows, Product Strategy, Growth, Marketplaces, Analytics, and 0→1 Product Building.
