About

I’m a product builder at heart, driven by curiosity, creativity, and a belief that great products are born at the intersection of empathy and engineering.

As a product manager, I obsess over clarity. Clarity in user needs. Clarity in decision making. Clarity in outcomes. I believe that the best product teams are not just aligned on goals, but inspired by purpose which is always rooted in solving real problems for real people.

I follow an AI-first approach to product thinking, not as a buzzword, but as a principle. Where others see complexity, I see an opportunity to simplify, automate, and elevate the user experience.

I value ruthless prioritization, clear communication, and tight feedback loops. I thrive in cross-functional environments where business, design, marketing, and engineering collaborate in lockstep. And I measure success not just by what we ship, but by what users love & keep coming back to.

My ethos is simple: to build products that are thoughtful, scalable, and quietly powerful, the kind that make life easier without asking for attention.

I worked with Danish for 1.5 years on the Lam project. A very complex financial business realignment with advanced technology. Danish was given a very small ramp to become proficient in the customer requirement and quickly became a vital member of the business and technical teams. More important than his technical capability and speed to effectivity is Danish's ability to contribute to and foster a healthy and positive team environment. He is very pleasant to work with and provides a healthy dose of fun and laughter in the face of sometimes stressful and fast-paced client demands.
