I am a Product Manager with 4 years of experience building 0 to 1 web & mobile products across Generative AI and Web3 at a Y Combinator-backed startup. I’ve delivered $3.4M+ in revenue and 1.5M+ user signups by driving high-impact features and product decisions. I’ve led a cross-functional team of 15+ engineers and designers through fast-paced weekly release cycles. I have a strong track record of close collaboration, end-to-end ownership, and using user research and metrics to guide roadmap priorities.
