About

I believe a Product Manager is responsible for three things. 1. Understanding customers: Have done more than 200 user studies to understand customer pain and have a working framework to uncover insights and not just feature requests. 2. Shipping products: I have been delivering tech heavy developer facing products shipping new features and APIs, revamping UX and feature improvements for user growth/ product engagement. 3. Getting users for the products: I think the person who builds the product should own user engagement of the product. Have done SEO (On page, Keyword research, Link building) and Content marketing to get users for features that I have built. I believe the soft skills and influence of a Product Manager is only as good as the hard skills and like shipping products from scratch.
