About

I work at the intersection of AI, product strategy, and growth, turning ideas into scalable products with a user-first mindset.

As an AI Product Manager and Founding Member at a Proptech startup, I ship products end-to-end: strategy and PRDs through design, launch, and growth. Off the clock you’ll find me on a motorcycle or behind a camera.

Case Studies

Case 01

Transforming Recruitment Operations

The Problem

Hiring ran on scattered spreadsheets: no single view of candidates, manual scheduling, and applicants slipping through as volume grew.

My Approach

Mapped the workflow with stakeholders, then designed one platform automating the full hiring lifecycle, from tracking and scheduling to evaluations and analytics.

The Outcome

A single source of truth. Hiring became faster, organized, and data-driven, with real-time pipeline visibility for every team.

Case 02

Building a Secure Online Assessment Platform

The Problem

Online assessments had no safeguards against cheating. Recruiters couldn’t trust scores, and skill gaps surfaced only after hiring.

My Approach

Designed a secure browser-based exam platform with intelligent proctoring, activity monitoring, and automated evaluation, all without hurting candidate experience.

The Outcome

Trustworthy scores and confident hiring decisions, with automation and centralized reporting cutting the manual work.
