I am a creative and energetic product manager excited about building software products that users love. I have taken a background in disaster management and applied it to the world of technology. During a disaster you have to be able to align strategy and vision with the needs of various groups and individuals in order to quickly gain consensus and take decisive action. You have to balance the current needs with the needs you anticipate going ahead, if you are to respond effectively. I have found this ideology helpful in developing products at startup and high-growth companies that customers value now and will continue to value as the products evolve. I love coming up with unique solutions to problems users did not even think could be solved. I live for the "aha" moment when you can delight a user by making some aspect of their life easier. I believe in backing these decisions with data. The truth lies in the data, so collecting usage metrics and user feedback in both qualitative and quantitative forms keeps products innovating in the right direction.
