Most teams donโt fail because they lack tools. They fail because execution is unclear. Projects slow down, ownership gets lost, communication becomes messy, and everyone stays busy without real progress. I help fix that.

I help founders and product teams turn messy inputs into clear execution. Interviews become prioritized insights. Ideas become buildable specs. Work moves forward without constant follow ups. Over the past 9 years I have led delivery and product execution for Fortune 500 companies like Vodafone Group and KFC (Yum! Brands Inc), as well as lean startup teams shipping new products with small engineering teams. My edge is simple. I use AI inside the real workflow, not as a side experiment. I use structured prompts to synthesize interviews, draft PRDs, run competitive research, prepare sprint plans, and generate weekly updates that teams can act on immediately. The result is faster decisions and cleaner execution. If you need someone who can step in and run delivery across multiple client engagements without hand holding, that is exactly what I do. HOW I WORK I operate as an execution partner to founders and product leaders. You focus on strategy and client relationships. I turn direction into shipped outcomes. Typical responsibilities I handle: Running customer and stakeholder interviews and converting them into prioritized insights Writing PRDs and feature specs engineers can build from without clarification loops Preparing agendas, notes, and follow ups for weekly client calls Managing delivery across multiple parallel projects Tracking risks, dependencies, and delivery health Driving execution from discovery through release I am comfortable switching between industries quickly because the discipline is the same. Clarify the problem. Define the work. Deliver reliably. AI NATIVE PRODUCT WORKFLOW AI is built into my daily operating system. Examples of how I use it: Interview synthesis I convert raw interview notes into structured insights, themes, and opportunity lists within minutes PRD drafting I generate first pass PRDs and refine them into clear implementation ready specifications Competitive and market research I use AI to scan competitors, summarize positioning, and extract product gaps Delivery reporting I generate weekly delivery updates that highlight risks, progress, and next actions Backlog prioritization I use scoring frameworks supported by AI analysis to rank features and clarify trade offs AI is not a novelty in my workflow. It is how the work gets done. RECENT PROJECT EXAMPLES Delivery Automation Product Designed a product feature that automated delivery reporting and reduced manual status updates for leadership teams Built the workflow from problem definition through MVP delivery and measurement Startup Operations System Rebuild Reorganized a distributed development teamโs workflow and centralized execution into a single delivery system Reduced communication noise and improved delivery predictability Client Delivery Leadership Managed multiple concurrent projects across engineering and design teams Delivered consistent progress while maintaining clear communication with stakeholders CORE SKILLS Product execution PRD and specification writing Customer and stakeholder interviews Backlog prioritization Delivery management AI driven research and analysis Sprint planning and release coordination Cross functional team leadership TOOLS AI tools ChatGPT Claude Perplexity Product and delivery tools Jira ClickUp Confluence Notion Collaboration Slack Microsoft Teams Zoom CREDENTIALS PMP PMI ACP PSM II SAFe Scrum Master Atlassian Certified Jira Administrator (ACP 620) 8 plus years delivering complex digital products and operational systems WORK STYLE Self directed Clear communicator Comfortable with US based teams Strong written English Reliable under pressure I do not need tight supervision. I take ownership of execution and keep work moving.

โ 100% Job Success โ Full-Time Professional โ 100% Client Satisfaction I'm a Product Manager with 10+ years of experience taking digital products from whiteboard to production - across telecoms, AI, government, and enterprise SaaS. Right now I'm building a full Microsoft Teams-integrated contact center suite: an AI-powered CCaaS platform (OptoX), an auto attendant and receptionist console (OptoA), a telecoms OSS/BSS billing and provisioning system (Nexus), and a Microsoft Operator Connect portal (OCC). All live. All in production. All owned by me end-to-end. Before that: a Liferay case management system for Dubai's government, an ADISA-certified device refurbishment platform shipped across US, an e-signature platform, and a multi-portfolio spanning EV charging, ERP, HRIS, and AI integrations. What I actually do as a PM: โ Define product vision, strategy, and roadmap โ Write Agile epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria to industry standard โ Run sprint planning, backlog grooming, and cross-functional delivery โ Bridge the gap between business stakeholders and engineering teams โ Own the product from discovery through go-to-market I've worked across UAE, UK, US and Pakistan. I'm comfortable with complex, multi-product environments and with being the only PM in the room. If you need someone who can own a product โ not just manage tasks around one โ let's talk. ๐ฉ Feel free to reach out - Iโm happy to discuss your product, challenges, and how we can move it forward efficiently.
