About Me
Biography
I’m a product manager who thrives at the intersection of design, engineering, and business—turning complex problems into intuitive, user-focused solutions. Whether leading cross-functional teams, navigating shifting priorities, or breaking down intricate details, I bring a structured yet flexible approach to delivering impact. I don’t just build products; I build strategies that scale, informed by data, research, and a deep understanding of human behavior. At my core, I believe product management isn’t just about features—it’s about fostering alignment, making bold decisions, and leaving things better than I found them.
