Product Lead | Turning product vision into validated, scalable software | Solving the right user problems to drive value.
I am a Product Lead with 7+ years of experience managing the full product lifecycle—from initial discovery and logic design to launch and high-growth scaling. I have built and optimized products across B2B SaaS, Fintech, and iGaming, managing complex systems that handle millions in transaction volume. My approach is grounded in evidence. I use qualitative and quantitative validation (A/B testing, live prototypes) to ensure we solve real user problems before scaling the solution. Key Areas of Impact: • Discovery & Validation: I validate demand before writing code. For ExitZero, I drove 10k users to a landing page and secured 140+ service clones prior to MVP, proving market fit early. • Complex Logic & Build: I define the product logic for data-heavy systems. This includes building a Crypto iGaming platform from scratch (handling 70M+ bets) and structuring business logic for US Roofing CRMs and Blockchain ledgers. • Growth & Optimization: I optimize live products for revenue. I drove a 2.2x increase in the North Star metric for Galactix in 6 months and boosted paying user growth by 19% in my recent role.
