About Me

I'm a techno-commercial product professional with a strong foundation in mechanical engineering, project management, and product development. My core strength lies in transforming complex ideas into scalable, user-focused, and commercially viable products.

Over the years, I've worked across product design, reverse engineering, prototyping, and large-scale project delivery, bridging the gap between engineering teams, business stakeholders, and customer needs.

Unlike traditional project managers, I bring a deep technical understanding of HVAC, electro-mechanical systems, and software basics — combined with commercial thinking. This allows me to identify real customer pain points, guide teams toward the right solution, and improve product-market alignment.

PMP Certified (PMI) and transitioning into Product Design Manager / Product Owner roles, where I can own product lifecycle end-to-end and drive business impact through product strategy.
