Founder-minded product builder designing AI systems, workflows, and user experiences.

I work across product management, system architecture, UX, and operations to turn ambiguous ideas into real, usable products.

About Me

I'm deeply interested in entrepreneurship, product management, system architecture, operations, UI/UX, and design.

I enjoy working end-to-end — from understanding user problems, to designing workflows, to shaping systems that scale.

I prefer shipping prototypes over writing long documents, and I learn fastest by building real things and iterating based on feedback.

Operating Principle

“I believe good products come from understanding real workflows, not just building features.”
