At Food Market Hub, I led the POS product pod end-to-end, shipping offline POS systems, foodcourt modules, and lending integrations that collectively drove $5M+ in GMV impact. Across these roles, I have consistently focused on solving ambiguous, high-friction operational problems and turning them into scalable product solutions with measurable business outcomes, particularly across marketplaces, AI tooling, and fintech-adjacent systems. I am now looking for a Senior Product Manager or Product Operations role in a high-growth company operating at the intersection of AI, marketplace operations, and financial infrastructure.
