AI PRODUCT MANAGER
I create product strategy and ship user-centric products and services.

Looking to incorporate AI into enterprise solutions.

About me

I am a high performing product manager that ships user-centric and accessible products by understanding both business and user needs and pain points. I make decisions based on quantitative and qualitative data.

I do not work alone. I work with cross-functional teams to ensure our products are well designed to cater to user needs, accessible, legally compliant, secure, and scalable.

Recently, I took a course in Product Management in AI / ML because AI is opening a new chapter of the human history. Greatly inspired by sci-fi movies and animations, I am excited to pioneer and push boundaries.

When I am not working, I like to play with my 2 cats, reading, travelling, and exploring tech and social media to stay up-to-date with the world.
