About

I build enterprise systems that make businesses run faster, cleaner, and compliant. With over a decade of experience across Product, Large-Scale Operations, Automation, and Education-Tech, I now work as a Product Manager at Sim Gems Group, where I lead the development of a custom ERP platform built on Odoo to unify sales, inventory, finance, operations, and compliance across global offices. I work directly with CEOs, COOs, Sales Heads, Operations, Inventory, and Accounts teams to translate real-world business complexity into scalable digital systems with deep automation and audit readiness. My current focus is on building compliance-first product architecture aligned with international standards like Kimberley Process & RJC. Before this, at Embibe, I transitioned from large-scale operations leadership into full-time product ownership by: - Coordinating 50+ field teams - Designing internal CRMs using AppSheet, Apps Script & Jira - Driving CEO- and investor-level reporting systems - Converting customer feedback directly into shipped product features Across my career, I have: - Scaled operations managing 2.5 Cr+ revenue workflows - Built and led 100+ member cross-functional teams - Designed zero-to-one systems that still run as business-critical platforms - Worked at the intersection of Product, Process, and People My core strength lies in seeing broken systems, imagining clean digital workflows, and shipping them at scale—especially in environments where compliance, speed, and accuracy are non-negotiable. If you’re building: - ERP platforms - Internal enterprise tools - Automation-first products - Operations-heavy digital businesses I’d love to exchange notes.
