Project Lead @ ShiftX | Product Owner #TowerIQ and #Solvik | Product Management , Strategy, Delivery & Customer Solutions | Enterprise SaaS & AI Delivery

About

Engineer turned Product Owner with 9+ years of experience across engineering and product in enterprise SaaS environments. I began my career building and designing front end for systems, and over time moved into leading cross-functional teams to deliver scalable, AI-enabled platforms. My work sits at the intersection of product strategy, technical execution, and customer impact. I have led end-to-end delivery of enterprise solutions, translated complex client needs into structured roadmaps, and driven measurable revenue outcomes. I am particularly interested in building intelligent workflows and AI-driven systems that improve productivity and decision-making. I enjoy operating in high-ambiguity environments where clarity, ownership, and execution discipline matter. I aspire to grow into Program and Product leadership roles, driving large-scale initiatives with both technical depth and business accountability.
