"A good product, is one that tells a good story and delivers a good experience." - some product dudeI'm a product-guy who has worn multiple hats throughout my career. I've been an entrepreneur, a game producer, a project manager, a product owner, scrum master etc. Each of these roles has infused me with traits, techniques and skills that eventually led to me becoming a Product Manager. Throughout my journey, I have sought to understand the voices and pains of customers, and worked to devise elegant stories and solutions to solve the problems. Equally important, I have learnt to work with and lead cross-functional teams to turn concept into functional and usable products.I can translate user problems into functionally useful features- understanding requirements and gaps- constantly asking "why?" to dig for the problem's root- perform competitor research- devise wireframes and propose solutions- backing up proposals with research data- get stakeholders buy-in with well-crafted narrativesI can lead the design, development and delivery of products- propose low/high fidelity wireframes to work with UX team- basic user testing to test solution feasibility- prioritize delivery via a product roadmap- speak tech with the developers to estimate feasibility and complexity- facilitate development and iterations in Agile-Scrum framework- the buck always stops with meI pride myself to have high adaptability, as different domains may require different work processes.I recognize myself to have gaps, and I'm always looking for mentors and learnings to improve myself.I am an individual who has learnt how to learn.I am always seeking for the opportunity to meet new people, and to work on interesting products.:)Professional SkillsProduct Management | Product Development | Task Prioritization | UX Design | Game-Design Thinking | Agile Methodology | Certified ScrumMaster | Competitor Research | Wireframing | Game Design | Requirements Gathering
