The Proven Product Guy . I enjoy building products from 0→1 and beyond, taking ideas from scratch through beta launch, iteration, launch, and scale.

I'm an AI product builder with 5+ years of experience across AI, SaaS, e-commerce, and payments, backed by an engineering background and an entrepreneurial mindset. I specialize in turning complex business problems into scalable products by combining customer discovery, rapid experimentation, and technical execution.

I've participated in and won multiple regional and global hackathons across AI, fintech, blockchain, retail, healthcare, and insurance, including the following:

• World Food Supply Chain (Blockchain, Ireland)
• Royal Bank of Scotland Hackathon
• Accenture Global Hack (Mental Health)
• EAinfobiz Solo Hacker Hackathon (Chatbots)
• Grabathon (Fintech)
• Microsoft Innovative India Challenge
• Microsoft FacePay Challenge
• HUL Datathon (Retail)
• Techstars COVIDHack
• Top 30 Finalist – GlobalHacks 2020 (Insurity)
• Unilever Europe Hackathon
• GrabPay 19
• Top 10 Ideas – Intuit

I'm also a Product School (US) scholarship recipient and a graduate of the Product Analytics program. Beyond building products, I've conducted workshops and delivered talks on AI, chatbots, and product thinking for college students and community meetups.

Whether it's validating an idea over a weekend or shipping AI-powered products at scale, I'm passionate about collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to build products that create meaningful user and business impact.
