Venture Growth | Product Management | Software Development | Strategy Advisory
Hey there! 👋 I'm a tech enthusiast with a rock-solid background in growth hacking, product management, and software development.
My journey blends a passion for Electrical Engineering and Computer Science with hands-on experience in software architecture, where I've designed and coded in languages such as Golang, Python, Objective C, Javascript, Perl/CGI and honed my skills in dynamic tech stacks.
As a seasoned product manager, I've successfully navigated the intersection of user needs and technical innovation, steering product strategies for optimal growth. From leading software teams at IBM to co-founding a startup that delved into machine learning and natural language processing, I bring a unique blend of technical prowess, product expertise, and entrepreneurial flair.
My expertise in growth hacking working with early stage startups around the world involves leveraging lean startup methodologies and data-driven decision-making to drive business success.
I'm excited to bring this multifaceted skill set to contribute effectively in roles that demand a dynamic blend of technical proficiency and strategic vision.
