About

I build consumer products that grow and stick. Over 4.5 years, I’ve worked across the full product lifecycle — from launching 0→1 products to driving growth and retention for live consumer apps. Most recently at FRND (audio social app), I’ve worked across Trust & Safety, User Retention, and led the 0→1 launch of Buddy, a new social product. My approach is deeply data-driven — I’m comfortable in SQL and BigQuery, and I use data not just to measure outcomes but to find problems worth solving. Before FRND, I worked in product roles at Pixis (AI-powered marketing tech) and Smartstaff (B2B hiring), which gave me exposure to both B2C and B2B product environments. I’m currently exploring new PM opportunities across consumer tech, growth, and 0→1 roles. If you’re building something interesting and need a PM who can go from insight to execution — let’s talk.
