I see myself as a generalist product manager with the ability to deliver across diverse domains while leveraging specialized knowledge when needed. My work spans industries such as edtech, health tech, and DevOps, each demanding unique approaches and strategies.
At KodeKloud, I owned the product vision for KodeKloud Engineer, driving user acquisition up by 15% and achieving 80% of KPIs. I collaborated with cross-functional teams, navigating technical and operational challenges to enhance user engagement by 25%. This required broad expertise in user behavior, community engagement, and technical execution.
As the CTO and Co-founder of Minbo Health Technologies, I scaled the platform from zero to over 10,000 users, leading a team of 20. This role demanded a comprehensive understanding of technology, user experience, and operational efficiency.
When necessary, I focus deeply on specific challenges. For instance, at QuestMath, I revamped interfaces and introduced gamification, boosting engagement by 35% and reducing support tickets by 30%. These efforts required specialized skills in UX design and data-driven decision-making.
This blend of versatility and depth equips me to lead teams, solve complex problems, and deliver impactful products.

I am both a generalist and a specialist.  When assigned a role, for example leading product for Toys, I was able to develop products that grew the business 3-fold.  My role was then increased to include Video Games and I was able to create a program that allowed direct access to all of our clients who worked with PlayStation and X-Box in a single forum to make sure that we were delivering the right product improvements.   My role was then increased to include Books, Juvenile Products and Media Entertainment and I was able to apply my transferrable skills to deeply learn those industries and create value.
