About Me

More than just a
Product Manager

I approach product management with an entrepreneurial mindset. Having worn multiple hats in early-stage startups, I understand that great products are born at the intersection of user empathy, technical feasibility, and business viability.

I am customer-obsessed and believe that the best answers come from talking to users, not just looking at dashboards.

Outside of work, you can find me planning my next travel adventure or writing about my experiences in tech and culture.
