I ship products that remove manual work and move measurable metrics.

Outcome-focused PM who builds workflow products and measures what changes. I run discovery, write crisp PRDs, execute with engineering, and iterate against metrics.

Shipped products and measurable outcomes

Three focused stories: problem, role, impact.

Husky Tracks
Campus Product • Full-Stack

Husky Tracks

Problem

Students at Northeastern University lacked a centralized platform to report and track lost items, leading to fragmented recovery processes and low recovery rates.

My role

Product Manager (vision, strategy, user research, feature prioritization, roadmap)

Impact
  • 1.7 min report submission time (Target: <2 min)
  • 72% projected match success rate (Industry avg: 40-50%)
  • 80% reduction in administrative overhead
Coursera SmartAssist
Accessibility • Product Design

Coursera SmartAssist

Problem

Traditional e-learning platforms overload neurodivergent learners with dense content, uniform pacing, and low personalization.

My role

Product Strategy & UX Design (accessibility-first product feature)

Impact
  • 4 core accessibility features designed
  • 3 cognitive accessibility profiles created
  • 100% no-code implementation approach
Husky Match (Hackathon Winner)
Hackathon • MVP

Husky Match

Problem

Students struggled to find relevant mentors quickly and didn't know where to start.

My role

PM + builder (scope, matching logic, MVP delivery)

Impact
  • 1st place hackathon (100+ teams)
  • MVP shipped in 48 hours
Product impact

Metrics tied to shipped work

How I think

How I work as a Product Manager

Clear discovery, crisp decisions, and delivery measured by outcomes.

Discover
  • Map the workflow end-to-end and identify the true constraint (time, risk, cost, trust).
  • Use interviews + data to quantify baseline and define the job-to-be-done.
  • Pull the signal forward: what must be true for this to be worth building?
Decide
  • Write a tight PRD: problem, non-goals, assumptions, metrics, risks, acceptance criteria.
  • Make tradeoffs explicit (scope vs. quality vs. timeline) and align early.
  • Choose an MVP that proves value quickly and reduces implementation risk.
Deliver
  • Ship in increments with fast feedback loops—optimize for learning and adoption.
  • Instrument outcomes, monitor usage, and iterate against measurable goals.
  • Close the loop: translate insights into the next release, not a deck.
