About

I am a Product Specialist with an MCA background, sitting at the intersection of Design, Engineering, and Business Strategy. With 3+ years in high-growth B2B SaaS and startups (DronaHQ, Appiness), I don’t just design screens; I architect product logic. My background in Computer Applications allows me to speak the same language as engineering teams, ensuring that user experiences are not just beautiful, but technically feasible and scalable. What I bring to the table: Product Thinking: Moving beyond pixels to solve for metrics (Retention, Activation, LTV). Technical Feasibility: leveraging my MCA to reduce dev-handoff friction. Execution: delivering complex B2B modules under tight MVP deadlines. Currently exploring roles in Product Management (TPM/APM) and Senior Product Design where I can own the outcome, not just the output.
